LARGO, Fla. – It’s the time of year for a beautiful walk outside. Enjoying the weather and the great outdoors is what fall and winter in Florida is all about. Pinellas County’s Parks and Conservation Resources Department would like to suggest a stroll through the scenic paths at the Florida Botanical Gardens.
“Everybody gets excited when we say fall color, and they think that they have to head up north, but really they don’t,” said Mia McCormick.
She is the Executive Director of the Florida Botanical Gardens Foundation, but in her heart, she’s a gardner with a love for all the plants in the park, from the flowers to the fruit trees.
“We have lots of fall color in Florida, you just have to know what to look for,” she said on a recent guided tour.
