Tour of Unbelievable Acres
(click on pictures to see larger version)
On January 18th 22 members visited Unbelievable Acres Botanic
Gardens, Inc. in West Palm Beach for a Horticulture field trip. Gene
Joyner and two other guides, Larry and Jane
gave us a tour of the rainforest, which is an unforgettable experience.
There are shrubs,
flowering trees, tropical fruits and a most unusual Sausage Tree with
sausage-like fruit up
to two feet long; as well as many varieties of citrus and other unusual
tropical vines and other plants. This is just a partial list of all
there is to see and the history of how it became a rainforest is
fascinating. Our tour was about one and half hours followed by an
opportunity to purchase some of the
plants we saw during the tour. It was a most enjoyable field trip on a
beautiful day in the
rainforest in West Palm Beach.
