About this event
Save the date: Sunday, January 31, 2027 from 12 pm to 4 pm. Sunken Gardens is excited to host the fifth annual Plantapolooza, a local botanical event dedicated to Florida native plants. Originated by The Community Wildlife Corridor, this event seeks to connect the wildlife populations in our largest parks with backyard native gardens.
Join us as we celebrate the importance and beauty of Florida’s native plants! Shop from local vendors, enjoy themed talks, and meet Tampa Bay organizations working hard to protect our plants and pollinators. We’re proud to collaborate with the Pinellas Chapter of the Florida Native Plant Society on this event.
