PLANTS OF ORLANDO (Volcano Bay)

April 27, 2022October 2, 2024 Gardening, How to Grow, Plants

I thought Baldi Resort in Costa Rica was one of the most beautifully landscaped locations that I have ever visited and I am hard to please when it comes to landscaping. I have to say that Volcano Bay in Orlando comes close to Baldi when it comes to plant use and design.

I added a few photos from the park at the bottom of the this post.
