WATCH OUR LIVING LANDSCAPE GROW!
Since spring 2022, our Palm Harbor Museum grounds have experienced improvements funded by Pinellas County's MSTU Grant to reintroduce Florida native plant species to complement and enhance existing historic specimen plants on our grands, adding Florida nature to our history. Earlier in the year, we trimmed trees, removed non-native palms and shrubs, cleared our property and bordering fences of invasive vines and vegetation, trimmed trees and removed weak tree limbs, and took delivery of new plants.
Since then, with the help of dedicated volunteers from Keep Pinellas Beautiful, Florida Master Gardeners, The Pinellas Chapter of the Florida Native Plant Society, GFWC North Pinellas Women's Club, and from our museum membership, neighbors, and community, we have planted, weeded, and mulched our new plants with loving care. In the last several months, we have added informational signage to appeal to all ages, backgrounds, and cultures to convey stories about our local history and explain how early humans and and subsequent settlers to North Pinellas grew and used these plants for food, resources, inspiration and beauty. Visit our pocket park at the corner of Belcher and Curlew Roads and view our new gardens. We want your senses to come alive with community pride — and we hope to inspire you to bring native plants to your own landscape.
As our new shrubs and flowering trees evolve, improve, and mature, they are producing a native Bird Thicket, Florida Butterfly Garden, Heritage Rose Garden, Muhly Meadow, Wildflower Garden, and Pollinator Overlook to enhance our museum. Garden areas benefit from continued attention. Won't you assist in any way you would enjoy? Email or call 727-724-3054 to let us know how you would like to help. You are welcome to adopt and care for a specific area with native plants. Please feel free to water, weed, or simply love on your native plants.
Palm Harbor Museum is open Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays 10 AM-2 PM at no charge. (Donations are welcomed)
