FCCP Photowalk at the Florida Botanical Gardens

If rain forces a cancellation, it’ll be posted here and an email will be sent to all RSVPd members. So, be sure to check your email and website before heading out.

The Florida Botanical Gardens inspires and educates visitors by showcasing flora, fauna and natural resources in motivational surroundings that promote environmentally friendly techniques. This Largo destination offers more than 30 acres of cultivated gardens and 90 acres of natural landscapes. It is free to the public every day and is a popular destination for photographers, residents and visitors who discover tranquility in the heart of Largo.

The butterfly garden has been completely redone and expanded. Many of the other gardens have been enhanced as well and the grounds are in the best condition I've seen in 8 to 10 years. Here is a list of some of the plants (http://www.flbg.org/whatblooming/march_april_may.htm) that should be in bloom.

I recommend a tripod for best results. I'll be happy to help with settings, lens choice etc.
