The journey continued in May 2015, with a 70-day, 1000-mile trek from the Everglades Headwaters near Orlando to Gulf Islands National Seashore near Pensacola, bringing new attention to a statewide vision to keep Florida wild.


The Tampa Garden Club invites you to come hear Carlton Ward talk about his work and to enjoy his storytelling through his award-winning photography.
