Re: botanical gardens

I remember visiting there - had too much "touristy" stuff for my taste, but the gardens themselves were lovely. What happened? Can't believe it was "the economy". That place has seen far worse stock markets, as old as it is. Poor management? Changing tastes? I agree with the short one - what are they going to do with all those plants? I have visions of bulldozers turning the acreage into a subdivision!

i guess all of you have heard by now that cypress gardens, florida's oldest theme park built on a botanical garden motif, is closing. tomorrow will be its last day. when the short one heard that, she said: "i wonder what they're going to do with all those big begonias?"
