Flower Power!


We had a wonderful opening night reception and awards dinner for our Nature and Wildlife show. Many thanks to all the wonderful volunteers who made this event so much fun for our guests, as well as the volunteers who received all the art work and did such a beautiful job installing the show. The Nature and Wildlife Exhibit will be up through the end of August so please come down to the gallery and take a look - it's a show not to be missed!

Just a few of our wonderful volunteers- Many Thanks!


And some of our wonderful guests... we hope you had fun!

Many thanks as well to our Sponsor Partners - Audubon Florida, Kenwood Inn, Ross & Springhorn CPAs, the St. Augustine Record, and the St. John's County Tourist Development Council.
