When we finished our picnic at the Plantation Gardens we made our way to the Swamp Gardens. It only takes about an hour to walk through the swamp. Part of the walk is on raised boardwalk and part of it is on the levies from the rice fields that used to be there. Wildlife is very plentiful with alligator warnings. We were very respectful of them but they mostly were hiding from us.
This old tree that Tanya is hugging is located in the little cemetery that is near the swamp. You can see a headstone behind the tree.
The trails are a wonder no matter what time of year you visit.
All of the green behind them is called
Duck Weed. When I first visited I thought it must be an algae sitting on the water but later learned that it is a tiny plant that provides food for the waterfowl that live there.
