The plants and trees of Florida are valuable resources that humans have exploited since paleo times.

Join Senior Curator of Education and History, James “Zach” Zacharias, at Gamble Place in Port Orange and learn how plants like Spanish moss, Cypress, long leaf pine, Yaupon Holly, and many more have impacted human history in Florida.
