The Plant Geek II is coming up Saturday, May 4, in Oakland, FL (just west of Orlando). It began last year as a cycling event and FNGLA had about 60 people take part. They have expanded the event to include a walk/run and a Plant Geek Scavenger Hunt so those who aren’t cyclists can take part in the fun as well. It’s definitely not limited to Plant Geeks, so you can invite friends and family.Everyone is welcome!
Plant Geek II will start from the Oakland Town Meeting Hall. For cyclists there will be two road routes and one ride on the West Orange/South Lake Trails to Clermont and back. They’re staggering the start time of the rides so everyone can be back at the building by 11:30 a.m. to enjoy the cookout together.
The 6K Walk/Run will travel to and/from the Oakland Town Meeting Building and the Killarney Trail Station. The Plant Geek Scavenger Hunt will take place along this same path with clues and answers provided via your smart phone. The Scavenger Hunt is being coordinated by friends with IFAS/Extension. Prizes for the winners!
Details and registration are available at http://www.fngla.org/events/plantgeekride/. Price is only a $25 minimum donation and includes the sporting event, shirt, plant, cookout, SAG support and hanging out with good people, including many plant geeks.
