GCREC Plant City Teaching Garden
The UF/IFAS GCREC Plant City Teaching Garden is an arboretum and collection of gardens. Enter through the arboretum and walk down paths lined with native and flowering trees. Farther on, view themed garden beds showcasing plants that perform well in Central Florida. While created as a teaching resource, the garden provides ideas and inspiration for anyone interested in gardening or landscaping.
