SFCC MOFAC Opens Wildflower Wayside Shrine
South Florida Community College’s Museum of Florida Art and Culture opened its first outdoor exhibition, the Wildflower Wayside Shrine, on Thursday, March 17. The exhibition features a walking trail through the scrub habitat with shrine boxes installed along the way. Each shrine box is dedicated to an endemic or endangered plant species found on the Lake Wales Ridge.
