Weeds ‘n’ Seeds: Johnston Preserve

December 29 @ 9:00 am - 11:00 am

We’re pleased to announce the start of our 37th season of Weeds ‘n’ Seeds, weekly plant walks led by knowledgeable SCCF volunteers.

Weeds ‘n’ Seeds takes place on Monday mornings from 9 to approximately 11 a.m. No registration is necessary — just meet us at the date, time, and location listed below. We can’t wait for you to join us in the discovery, enjoyment, and wonder of the hundreds of native plant species on our islands!

Dec. 29: SCCF Johnston Preserve

The first Weeds ‘n’ Seeds plant walk of the 2025-26 season will take place at 9 a.m. to approximately 11 a.m. at SCCF’s Johnston Preserve, a beautiful upland habitat that’s currently in the process of being transformed into enhanced gopher tortoise habitat.

We will meet at the preserve gate across from the Children’s Education Center of the Islands (CECI) at 350 Casa Ybel Road, Sanibel (Approximate coordinates: 26°25’47.6″N 82°04’11.5″W).

Participants can park at CECI, as far away from the buildings and as close to the street as possible.

We’re looking forward to exploring the plant diversity in this private preserve and observing the changes since the hurricanes of past years.
