The Gardens in Pensacola are Beautiful
I never thought I’d have cause to use that headline, stored in the back of my head for years. But now, the Pensacola News Journal has convinced me to break it out and print it bold and loud.
With summer in all its glory, there is nothing better than strolling through (the Milton Garden, located on the Pensacola Junior College/University of Florida Campus in Milton) filled with brightly colored flowers and plants.
“We have one of largest collections of day lilies in the area.”
Reason enough? I was still feeling a little skeptical… But no, that’s not all.
“We decided to see how the cactus would do growing here,” Thetford said. “Since traditionally cactus enjoys dry soil and extreme heat, we weren’t sure how they would grow in this climate since we have quite a bit of rain. So far, they are doing very well.”
Well, now I’m convinced. The gardens in Pensacola really are beautiful.
