About this Event

Spring is in the air! This season, our Dirt Day will focus on the Symphony of the Swamp!

Join the Florida Master Gardeners and Friends of the Parks as we discover the unique soundscape of the swamp and learn how the species that inhabit it work together to form a cohesive ecological symphony!

This program will include a presentation, craft, tram tour, snack, and more!

Please come dressed to get dirty, as a portion of this event may deal with planting native plants. And don't forget close-toed shoes!

Fun for the whole family!

Date & Time : Saturday, March 7th, 10:00am-12:00pm (Doors open at 9:30am and the program starts promptly at 10am)

Location: This program will be held at the Polk's Nature Discovery Center Classroom. (See map for details.)
