Metro Jacksonville's Bob Mann illustrates how a walk of only 600 feet through two local parks writes the book on why Jacksonville doesn't have nice things.

The beauty here is deceptive, a closer look exposes the ugly under belly of Jacksonville
Flower beds with no flowers (think of it as a 4 leaf clover hunt)
Park benches with flowers (and lots of paper wasps in the right season)
Get in touch with the 'REAL' Florida on one of our well maintained nature trails (Great place to get a snake bite)
Each plant is carefully marked with small identification signage (if you can find them)
The City built arbors that allows for plants like blackberries and poison ivy to thrive
Hacking our way through this urban jungle from the benches with a machete allow for scenic vistas of the waterways.
