Seagrove Garden Club hosts informative luncheon

Lynn Curtis Koehnemann, Seagrove resident and adjunct professor of Geography at Florida State Univeristy-PC, Gulf Coast State College, and Chipola College was the guest speaker at the Seagrove Garden Club meeting and luncheon Feb. 9.

Koehnemann gave an informative presentation on the diversity of Walton County’s five ecosystems – beach dune, costal dune lake, pine flatwoods, scrub forest and hammock.

In addition, Koehnemann spoke about our local State Parks.

“We are lucky to live in Walton County with so many preserved areas,” Koehnemann said.
