Hello World

I guess this is my obligatory greeting and introduction post. My name is Chris, I’m the horticulture director at a botanical garden in South Florida. I’ll post here about happenings in our garden, photos and bits about subtropical and tropical plants, and my other varied interests, like music, books, and who knows what else. Maybe youll see some pets, wild, and rescue animals.

I grew up in Miami and look forward to more of your photos.

@jean Jean, can I bring my own domain name into Micro.blog?
I had a microblog.pub account last year and want to reuse the domain if possible.

Jean MacDonald

Yes, we encourage folks to use their own domain. Here is the help document with details.

(I lived in North Miami Beach, and spent more time in Broward than Miami. Hallandale Beach and Hollywood Beach were my favorites.)
