• Location: Mead Botanical Garden, 1300 S. Denning Drive Winter Park, FL

Celebrate Mead Botanical Garden’s thriving population of these ancient reptiles in our native upland pine habitats. Join Mead Botanical Garden and the local chapter of the Florida Native Plant Society for hikes lead by Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Authorized Gopher Tortoise Agents, talks, and exhibits featuring gopher tortoises. We might see some hatchlings, juveniles, adults out foraging as we explore and learn about the native plants that grow in the deep, dry sands where tortoises dig their burrows.
