Really lovely gardens, I love that feeling of being in a rainforest even if its manmade. Not so keen on the birds in cages. Kookaburras really have the best laugh and are so magical to watch hunting in the wild.
@@Explorcation It's so hard, if I had it my way no animals would be caged, but that's a pretty tall ask of the human race. When you finally do experience the Kookaburra in the wild, it will be all the more special 🧡 If you watch our Nimbin vid, Brendan captured one eating beautifully on our travels. There's an even older vid, I think I called in morning walks or pack training, and the kookaburras are going bananas at the start when i head out for the walk.
@@Explorcation you won't regret it, the moment I saw the footage Brendan got I was so impressed. We actually saw heaps of Aussie wildlife that day from memory ☺️
Wow I'd love to spend a few hours in the sunken garden. My husband would love that it has a lot of shade. Cute little turtles 😍 Your lunch looked so good too! I didn't realize there were so many kinds of palm trees.
So glad you made a video of the sunken gardens, remember you showing it briefly in a previous video. We also think that we would go through gardens very quickly and then realize it could actually take a whole morning 🙈 It’s so beautiful though and a great alternative to all the beaches in your area. Just remember...it’s on video now that you’re going to come visit South Africa 😁🤗
There is just literally nothing better than being in nature. This made my heart sing. The sunken gardens are just so beautiful, I can't definitely picture a beautiful wedding there. We absolutely love Flamingos, they just so so so beautiful. Such interesting facts about the flamingos, thanks for sharing that. The arboretum looked so beautiful and we love that its free. Loved hearing all the birds in the background. Ah we absolutely love cicadas, and yes, you guys definitely have to come to South Africa 💜 What a stunning video guys. Thank you for sharing.
Hi guys. Our friends exploraswego recommended your channel to us. We just spent a few days exploring Florida and decided we're going to move to Tampa next year. Going to binge through your content for more great places to check out in Florida!
Awww that was so sweet of @exploraswego ❤ how exciting you are going to be moving to the area next year, there really is soooo much to do in Florida. If you have any questions about the area let us know! Do you have a timeframe for your move yet?
@@Explorcation Yeah we love them! We would definitely hit you up with questions. Looking at sometime between June and July of next year. Once I can leave my job.
Omg...I've never seen a flamingo in real life but it's on my list. Just loving the hat too 😁😁 The bamboo section is really nice...I love seeing Japanese type gardens. What an orzo salad made of? We get heaps of cycads here in Australia...I actually went through a garden in my QLD road trip series in the outback that had heaps of cycads...it was a dinosaur exhibit . Thanks for sharing guys 😁👍
The Japanese gardens were probably my favorite part of the whole gardens. Orzo salad is made of Orzo pasta, feta cheese, cucumber, tomato, not sure what all else. But it is great! We would love to see the cycads in Australia someday. Such cool plants!
Beautiful gardens - so wonderful to walk through on such a fine sunny day. Well done, my friend 👍. Big like and full play. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your weekend 😀.
I could easily spend a whole day at the Sunken Gardens! So much lush greenery...I can't believe you spotted a starfruit tree. That's one of my favorite fruits...I guess Florida has the perfect climate to grow those. All the water features are so relaxing sounding. There are some cool animals in the gardens as well. My favorite is the kookaburra...too bad it didn't laugh. I had no idea what a cycad is either...it looked like a huge pineapple to me!
Those gardens look right up our street! I can see why people would want to get married there. I love those huge mossy oaks too 😍 I appreciated all the flamingo info!
What a garden!! Love all the palm trees! That's so awesome that they have birds throughout the gardens too. OMG I LOVE FLAMINGOS, so cool. Max the turtle was not feeling the camera that day, that other turtle was loving it though.
Such amazing gardens! I had no idea they existed, Florida surprises me a lot! I love flamingos! They are super adorable 😍 bamboo forest has such big fish 🐟 your lunch looked so good!
Aw WOW! TO see the birdies who talk back is SO CUTE!!! We love Koi Ponds!!!! HAHA They're so pretty! 12 dollars to enter is not a bad price at all! Definitely a turtle and not a rock. You guys were for sure experts by the end of the video! SHORT PALM TREES
Love that the bird said, “Hi!” back to you☺️ Those baby turtles looked so chill🐢 The sunken gardens look like such a peaceful place to spend the day, they look massive too, so many areas to visit!
Thank you very much for this video, and the recommendation at the end looks very nice! From what I see you have a little backpack with you, to which I am wondering if either garden in this video, or any of these gardens/etc, check inside backpacks? From what I recall Disney and some museums do check backpacks, but I was curious about these gardens. With what's going on the last few years, I don't like/want other people touching my bags/stuff, so any help is appreciated, thank you!
Thank you so much for the kind watching and taking the time to comment, Luke. It was over a year ago now when we filmed this video and last visited these spots, but at that time, they did not check our backpacks.
Thanks for the continued support, John. A market video will definitely be coming at some point, but probably after Covid dies down a bit more. We missed the grand prix this year, but definitely have plans to attend next year. It looks like a blast!

We would also prefer to experience birds in the wild, we would love to see (and hear) the kookaburras some day!

It is a great spot to enjoy the Florida sun without actually being in it. I (Jamie) also always love when we find beautiful spots in the shade!
Thank You For Sharing My Dear Friends
Thanks so much for watching!
Love sunken gardens!
Same here. It was our first experience with them, and they were great.
Thank you for sharing My Dear Friends
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful park and so many creatures! Thanks for sharing and have a nice day 👍👍
It really is a lovely area, thanks so much for watching :)
I want a backyard like this. Especially with flamingos.
You and me both. Although one would basically have to devote their whole life to maintaining it!
@@Explorcation Hmmm. I'll get a guy.
Very informative and lovely video. I am planning to visit Sunken Gardens this week. Thank you for featuring this beautiful place.
We're glad you enjoyed it and we hope it helps you to make the most of your time at the Gardens!
So beautiful my friend. See you again🤝🔔
Thank you so much :)

What a stunning video guys. Thank you for sharing.
It really was such a fun and relaxing day. We will no doubt be visiting South Africa someday!
Love spending time in botanical gardens, especially in the spring time. And birds too. What a nice treasure in St. Petersburg. Thanks for sharing.
It really is a treasure, and we are lucky to have it so close to home.

@@TheDetourDuo awesome 😁
Wow that’s quite some garden! So pretty! It does seems tranquil and peaceful! I could see how you could spend all day there!
Yes, one of the most tranquil places we've experienced for sure!
Omg...I've never seen a flamingo in real life but it's on my list. Just loving the hat too 😁😁

@@Explorcation interesting, not sure I've heard of Orzo pasta, but just googled it. Not a popular term in Australia but I'm sure we have it here.

It really was a great place to be on a sunny (and hot!) Florida day!
Amazing video guys thanks alot
Thanks so much James 😊

Yeah we love starfruit too, and Skylar was so excited to actually see some on the tree. Although he was not too happy that he couldn't eat any😅
Those gardens look right up our street! I can see why people would want to get married there. I love those huge mossy oaks too 😍 I appreciated all the flamingo info!
Yeah it would be hard to find a prettier place to get married.
What a garden!! Love all the palm trees! That's so awesome that they have birds throughout the gardens too. OMG I LOVE FLAMINGOS, so cool. Max the turtle was not feeling the camera that day, that other turtle was loving it though.
hahah right, Max was great when he heard us debating whether it was him or a rock, but as soon as we figured out it was him he was like see ya later 😆
Such amazing gardens! I had no idea they existed, Florida surprises me a lot! I love flamingos! They are super adorable 😍 bamboo forest has such big fish 🐟 your lunch looked so good!
Yeah the koi really were huge. Biggest we had ever seen!
Aw WOW! TO see the birdies who talk back is SO CUTE!!! We love Koi Ponds!!!! HAHA They're so pretty! 12 dollars to enter is not a bad price at all! Definitely a turtle and not a rock. You guys were for sure experts by the end of the video! SHORT PALM TREES
Yup definitely not a rock 😂
Benn to Sunken Garden couple of times, it's still amazing to me, the beauty in paradise is magnificent. I Need to go check out that Arboretum?
It really is such a cool place. So relaxing! The Arboretum is really cool to, especially for a free spot!
It is good😊
Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment!
Another great video guys! I have to say, I really enjoy Jamie's commentary over the video giving the history of each site! Very interesting :)
Thanks so much for this great feedback, Sierra. We are so appreciative of you're continued support of our channel!
That looks like such a pretty garden! The bird saying "hi" back to you was hilarious 😂Looks like they have a lot of cool animals to see there!
Yeah it kind of sounded like it was annoyed with us and only responded so we would leave it alone! 😂
Love that the bird said, “Hi!” back to you☺️
Those baby turtles looked so chill🐢
The sunken gardens look like such a peaceful place to spend the day, they look massive too, so many areas to visit!
I really wanted to get Beeker to dance but Skylar wouldnt hum with me 😆 at least he talked to us!
Yet another amazing and well put together video. St Pete is blessed to have Explocation living there. Are your names on the ballots yet?! LLWAV!!
Hmmm not sure when the next mayoral race is, or which of us would run, but definitely worth looking into 😅
Thank you very much for this video, and the recommendation at the end looks very nice!

Awesome video! You got one on the Saturday morning market or the Grand Prix?
Thanks for the continued support, John. A market video will definitely be coming at some point, but probably after Covid dies down a bit more. We missed the grand prix this year, but definitely have plans to attend next year. It looks like a blast!
