What grows behind that wall?
Tall pines and a thick hardwood forest conceal one of Florida's best gardens from heavy traffic on Thomasville Road in Tallahassee. But behind a fence and beyond a brick entry, the Alfred B. Maclay Gardens is open for all to enjoy. Now an urban oasis, it was once the hunter's paradise. Follow us now for a peek behind the garden wall.
