Taste America’s only caffeinated tea, a ceremonial drink consumed by Florida’s indigenous groups, while exploring what people ate in Florida through the ages. Cattle, citrus, and many other common foods today were brought to Florida by the Spanish, so what were people eating before then?

Learn that and more from Rachael Kangas, Director for West Central and Central Regions of the Florida Public Archaeology Network (FPAN).

Presentation is free with Gardens admission or membership. No pre-registration required. Held in our Garden Room.
