An Autumn Walk in the Historic Tree Grove

Though we don’t get fantastic leaf colors here like they do up north, our seasons definitely do change in Florida. Many of the trees in MOSI’s Historic Tree Grove are deciduous, which means they lose their leaves each winter. The George Washington Carver Persimmon is nearly always the first to go, with the Chickasaw Plum, Clara Barton Redbud, and various Sycamores soon to follow. But while some trees are losing their leaves, shrubs and flowers nearby are putting on their best displays of the year, like the Winter Cassia’s bright yellow blooms. Our seasonal changes are perhaps more subtle and gradual than those up north, but they still bring plenty to look forward to (without the threat of months of snow!), as you can see by clicking through our albums below.
