Looking for a fun twist on Valentine’s Day? Join the Florida Native Plant Society, Palm Beach County Chapter, for a botanical treasure hunt at Frenchman’s Forest Natural Area! We’ll be searching for 14 native species of Tillandsia (air plants!) that call Florida home—plus other incredible epiphytes that grow on trees and plants.
As we explore, we’ll connect what we see to why Florida’s native plants are so special—from our incredible biodiversity and unique ecosystems to the critical role native plants play in supporting wildlife and preserving the natural character of South Florida.
