Dagny Johnson Botanical Park was actually going to be land turned into condos until Dagny Johnson brought it to the towns attention and helped save it from development. I am so happy she did because the park is pretty great.
It started with a spooky walk through the woods and then opened up into this beautiful scene by the water. It was so peaceful and serene, like an oasis nestled in the woods. I opted for the mile loop around because the other part was being worked on for future viewing. I strolled that mile at a leisurely pace and I sure did enjoy every step, soaking in the breathtaking and unique scenes of mother nature.
I did not see much wildlife but I was there pretty early in the day. I was able admire all of the lush tropical plants that were everywhere my head turned. The Indian tropical hardwood hammock provided a lot of shade which kept my walk at a very pleasant temperature too.
I am so thrilled that the land was saved from development and enhanced for all of us to enjoy for many years to come.
