🌊PROTECTING OUR BEACHES & WATERWAYS — TWO ORGANIZATIONS MAKING A DIFFERENCE! 🌿

At the Autumn in Bloom Festival on Saturday, October 24, we're excited to welcome two nonprofit exhibitors dedicated to protecting and preserving some of Florida's most treasured natural resources!

🏖️ Canaveral National Seashore - Stretching across 58,000 acres, Canaveral National Seashore is a remarkable natural treasure featuring pristine beaches, coastal dunes, wildlife habitats, and the beautiful Mosquito Lagoon. Stop by their exhibit to learn more about this protected coastal environment, its fascinating natural and cultural history, and the importance of preserving it for future generations.

For more than 40 years, MRC has worked to protect and restore this vital ecosystem through science, education, and advocacy. Learn about their water quality monitoring, habitat restoration efforts, and ways community members can help create a healthier lagoon.

🌿 BEHIND THE SCENES AT BREVARD DISCOVERY GARDEN! 🌺

Something exciting is happening at Brevard Discovery Garden as we count down the days to our Autumn in Bloom Festival on Saturday, October 24!

Our Master Gardener Volunteers have been busy getting everything ready, and today was an especially productive day!

💪 All Hands on Deck! Volunteers came together to spread TWO truckloads of mulch throughout the Discovery Garden! That’s a lot of mulch, a lot of wheelbarrow trips, and a lot of teamwork! Our garden beds are getting a fresh look just in time to welcome festival visitors.

🌱 Meanwhile, in the Nursery… Our nursery volunteers are putting the finishing touches on an incredible selection of more than 1,000 native and Florida-Friendly plants they’ve propagated and nurtured for our biggest fall plant sale yet!

🌺 And the Garden Is Showing Off! While everyone was hard at work, we couldn’t resist stopping to admire some of the beautiful flowers blooming throughout the garden. Mother Nature seems to be getting ready for the festival, too!

There’s so much more happening behind the scenes as our volunteers prepare for this special day. From tending plants and sprucing up garden beds to organizing exhibits, educational programs, and activities, it’s truly a team effort!

💚 We can’t wait to share the results of all this hard work with you!
