- I'm taking you on a plant tour of the historic Sunken Gardens here in St. Petersburg Florida! This beautiful oasis has endless amounts of tropical plants, as well as some cacti, succulents, fish, and birds! Tampa Jay and I had an awesome time visiting our first botanical garden together and I hope you all enjoy as well!

Hoya there!!Flaaaaaaaminggggggoooooooos!!!
I cannot believe how much I learned walking with you here at Sunken. You have taught me so many awesome things about horticulture and plants on your channel, before we even met. It was quite a honor and it meant the world to me to visit Sunken with you! It was amazing and I’m super happy this went down. I couldn’t wait to watch this and revisit this day again vicariously. You did an amazing job as always. I love how we always point out the same and different. You definitely know your stuff babe. This was one of your best! I am so happy we were blessed with such a beautiful day to visit this iconic / beautiful roadside attraction!!
Thank you so much for my T-shirt and making me the luckiest guy to have ever existed.
Great job Cris My GIRL.
I’m happy you gave an update on the sponge Bob square plant!!
Much ahead!!!

Awesome, thank you for stopping by over here as well, I really appreciate it! And so glad you enjoyed the video!!
I had a season pass at Sunken Gardens years ago and you can bring up to 5 guests each visit so that was a great deal, I used to bring friends and do photo shoots for them and just stop by myself to enjoy the beautiful gardens
Oh wow! That is pretty amazing!! I have a pass to my local garden back in PA, it's just nice to have a place to go to enjoy nature! Thank you!
Oh wow ! I love these kind of videos. It's quite rare to see a young RUclipsr that's into plants . . . sooo refreshing.
Keep it up, girl !

Haha, I loved Jay's video, he did such a good job of outlining the place! Thank you for watching!!
My goal in life is to visit every botanic garden and arboretum in the United States . . . you're helping me to achieve my bucket list. Thank you.
Oh wow, that is a great goal! I would love to do that myself, or at least one in each state :) Thank you for the idea!
This was an awesome tour!!! I've never been to St. Pete and I'm from Florida. Horrible I know ha! Great vid Cris!! 👌🏼
Haha, hey, this was one of the few times I've been there too and I spent 20+ years here! Hope you can visit soon, thank you so much Krystal!!
Refreshing to see green plants 🪴. Looks like a nice peaceful place to walk and see nature. Still have a few months in Pennsylvania until greenery and flowers are in my gardens. I don’t do indoor plants. They never survive.
It was very peaceful! I am hoping when I get back to PA it will be green again! :) Thank you for watching!!
I appreciate your discussion of the plants, sharing your knowledge. In Michigan let’s say we do t have these plants. I am lucky that we do have an incredible garden, Dow Gardens where I live. I was just on vacation in Savannah and took in a park where there were over 50 species of trees, good stuff. Well done explaining and sharing your plant passion. Jay is more patient than my wife haha.
Jay is awesome, we spent a Saturday doing something that was more up my alley and I really appreciate him being so patient! Yeah Michigan wouldn't have most of these plants for sure haha! I will have to check out Dow Gardens at some point, I would love to see the plants that you do have! Thank you so much for watching!!
Hope you get to see this given that it's a few days past, though this will leave you shaking your head. So about fifteen years back I brought back to Wisconsin some bougainvillea from Arizona. I don't know how my mothers husband does it, but he was able to get that to actually grow and REALLY grow in this frozen wasteland! But...he also was able to get cacti to grow...and yes this is all outside! They'd always survive the winters!
I ended up buying the house, when they moved, and it was still growing! I sold the house a few years back and like many people, did a drive by about six months later. Now I sold the house to an arborist that works for the state. This will break your heart...the guy cut it all down...ripped it out...all gone! Not to leave you with a sad ending, they did take some of that bougainvillea with them to their new house...still in Wisconsin...and it's now thriving there.
That is pretty crazy!!!! This actually really reminds me of the Bougainvillea we had in front of our house like I was trying to explain in the video. My parents planted a very very small bush right out front of our house, and it grew like crazyyyyyyy.... granted this was in FL so that's not super surprising, but it got really out of hand, to where it was taking over the whole side of the house. They also cut it up and ripped it out sadly. I'm glad the person who bought the house kept some of yours, I wish I did that with mine!!
Looks like a awesome day love the videos that you post!
Thank you so much, I am so glad you enjoy the videos!!
This is my first time watching your channel and, I really enjoyed it 😀. I took Horticulture class in high school and, have always loved plants 🪴. I can learn a lot from you.
Oh very cool!! I wish I took a horticulture class! Thank you so much for checking out my channel, I will definitely be doing more plant content in the future! :)
@@CristheGirl I'll be looking forward to seeing it.
Love you guys great video as always
Thank you!!
Great gardens tour Cris! Plants 🪴 🌿 provide a calming atmosphere & give us oxygen to breath. Thanks for sharing 👍😊
I'm so glad you enjoyed, thank you so much!!
Great video Cris 💯
Thank you!!
Try out the Ringling musum... they have some beautiful gardens or at least they did years ago.
It's on my list for sure!
I’ve been to St. Petersburg once we saw dolphins at the beach , I want to go back so bad 🥰
I think I saw one the other day when I was at the beach too!
@cristhegirl you should come back to Pepa pig land, legoland next door to that still has the original Cypress Gardens. cool ski show still too.
Oh 100%! I have plans to go to Legoland specifically so I can revisit Cypress Gardens! I have a lot of memories there!
Liked this video never been but it looks pretty I love looking at plants and flowers in Florida
So glad you enjoyed the video!! It is a beautiful spot, FL has so many gorgeous plants and flowers! Thank you for watching!!
@@CristheGirl you and tampa jay should cheak out this place in lake wakes Florida it's Bok tower gardens it's pretty cool place to cheak out in Florida
@@HeathersHappenings it’s on my list of places to visit hopefully soon! Thank you for the suggestion!!
You are certainly in your element in this video! I'm always up for a good botanical garden, hopefully I can check out Sunken Gardens on my upcoming Florida road trip. If you haven't already read it, I highly recommend The Orchid Thief by Susan Orlean (the book, not the movie). It's a deep dive into the history and culture of orchid-obsessed collectors.
Ohhhhhhhh...... that book sounds amazing! I will definitely check that out, thank you for the tip! I hope you can visit this place at some point, thank you for watching!!
Great job Cris, watched Jay’s too. You are so plant knowledgeable. I love botanical gardens and will be visiting there soon!
That's great, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! Thank you so much for watching!!
You make the plants interesting you would like my backyard it looks like Gilligan's Island haha
Oh yeah? That sounds amazing haha! Glad you enjoyed the video, thank you!

Have you been to Bok Tower gardens in Lake Wales Fl.??
So glad you enjoyed the video! Haha, Sponge Bob Plant Pants is doing well! I haven't been to Bok Tower since I've been back here, but it's on my list! Thank you Dara!!
I 💕 love Bok Tower and used to go a lot, but haven't been in 5 or 6 years.
@@lastFLnative I love bok tower to
@@HeathersHappenings ... isn't it the best!?🌺
Thanks for the 👍
I need plant help . Especially with too much sun not enough sun I get confused
I will definitely be making some plant 101 videos hopefully soon. It can be incredibly confusing at first! If you ever have any specific questions, feel free to ask!
