Florida Master Naturalist program starts tonight!, originally uploaded by Erin *~*~*. I’m excited to be starting the Florida Master Naturalist program tonight! This is the Coastal Systems Module.

My Mobile Adventures *~*~* mobile blogged a visit to the Edison & Ford Winter Estates earlier this month. At $24 for the garden tour, I thought it was a BIT pricey, but $12 is a GREAT bargain! So if you’re interested, jump on this deal – I think it will only be good for two more days (Until Monday May 30th 2011). CLICK HERE to get a GROUPON for Edison & Ford Winter Estates...

I like that you’re encouraged to walk on the lawns, and that it’s not that perfectly manicured golf course...
Exiting the Edison-Ford Estates, originally uploaded by Erin *~*~*.

Massive mysore fig from India, originally uploaded by Erin *~*~*. Another massive rubber tree, this time on the Ford side of the historic site. Another name for this tree is Brown Wooly Fig. It has been growing here since the 1920s
