Sunken Gardens – A Botanical Paradise and Historic Gem

June 3, 2015 by Sharon Fennell Kennedy | St. Petersburg, FL: Pinellas County 7 Comments

sunken_gardens
At over 100 years old, Sunken Gardens is the oldest living museum in St. Petersburg and home to some of the oldest tropical plants in the region.

In 1903 George Turner, Jr., a plumber by trade, began growing tropical plants in the rich fertile soil of an old lake. What began as a passion for gardening, blossomed into this botanical garden now operated by the City of St. Petersburg.

As you stroll through this four-acre sanctuary, you will be amazed at the variety and number of lush tropical flowers and plants…. over 50,000 from around the world. Cascading waterfalls, flowing ponds, exotic birds and curious flamingoes will capture and delight you.

Located at 1825 4th Street, N., Sunken Gardens provides garden tours, horticultural programs, special events and field trips. It can be rented for weddings and private and corporate events.

For more information on memberships, hours of operation, workshops, events and tours: Call 727.551.3102 or visit their website at: www.sunkengardens.org

    In doing research about my grtedmoahnrs death and life in general, it seems, the only information that I am able to find is where she is buried. My father was adopted right after birth in which stories passed down are contradictory. The stories that he knows to be true stem around a horrible tragedy, which he has to live with daily, and in all aspects, we, as a family, have to deal with. I’m personally commited to finding out some kind of truth. So this brings me here.I’m looking for information regarding who paid for and placed her headstone here at Mount Hope cemetery. Any phone number that I have tried has been disconnected another brick wall. I am looking at replacing her headstone as well, and I’m not sure how to go about doing this as well. I am on ancestry.com and archives.com and yet have found little to nothing about her 20 year old life. I feel like if I could contact somebody, somewhere that may still have records of her burial in 1962 (we had always believed that she dies in 1961), that I may be able to find just another piece to this haunting puzzle that surrounds my family. Please, if anybody has any information that may help, I would be forever grateful. Her name is Bernice Cornstubble. As well as longing for more information, and through reading through these posts, I am curious as to what exactly will happen to this cemetery should worse case come true. I guess I just do not have an understanding of the situation.Any help or information would be greatly appreciated. Have a blessed day!

    I was a junior republican until I was 16, even back in the days when not all republicans were crazy (you know when some voted for the EPA and the Civil Rights Act). A lot of those who stay locked into mental adolescence are probably genetically hardwired to do so. And lazy.
