Event
Friends of Gumbo Limbo Seaside Corals and Gardens Tour
Transportation not provided, please plan your trip ahead of time.
Attend a coral nursery tour at Nova's Halmos College beginning promptly at 10am. The plan is to assemble in the lobby at 9:45. Lasting approximately one hour long (give or take to answer questions).
We can expect to see research laboratories and a working onshore coral nursery. It is a research facility so there will be discussion on what Halmos and the students/researchers within are doing to explore, understand, and preserve the marine environment and its many inhabitants.
At approximately 11am we will break and go off to lunch, independently. We will meet up at 1:50 at the entrance to Bonnet House.
Built in 1920 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Bonnet House Museum & Gardens is a 35-acre estate and historic house museum. The Main House is filled with a collection of art and the personal treasures of the Birch/Bartlett families. The surrounding grounds of the estate range from a mangrove swamp to a coastal hammock, providing habitat for a variety of fish, birds, and other wildlife.
Our guided tour will begin at 2pm in the Main House and continue in a tram tour of the gardens.
Following a guided tour of the Main House, a Nature Trail Driver will take you on a 15 minute ride around the trail. The Driver will share information about the plants, animals and ecosystems of this 35-acre coastal wilderness.
The tour is scheduled to end at 4:15, but guests are welcome to continue their visit after this time, independently.
Wear comfortable shoes, and NOTE -- transportation is not included! Make sure you have your rides planned out.
