FGCU Food Forest


Took a walk through the FGCU Food Forest today, the "Food Forest" is a special student run botanical garden showing the sustainability of southwest florida with the majority of the plants and trees grown here being edible. Today it was pretty dry and most of the fruits have been harvested with the exception of a few papayas and bananas that were not quite ready. The bees and butterflies were very active with their jobs of tending to the garden and we were paid a special visit by the local supervisor who sat high in his perch overseeing everything from the garden to the surrounding nature trails.










 
 
 
Unfortunately, I had to cancel the walk through the nature trail due to flooding from all the rain this past week. Hoping to find time to do the walk within the next few days.
