I’ll never forget the first time I stepped onto the wet, hallowed grounds of Universal Volcano Bay. It was a hot summer day in Orlando so, naturally, I was wearing jeans and two shirts (I don’t always make the best decisions). While I was not properly attired for waterslides that day, I still had a fantastic time due in large part to the lush, vibrant plant life found throughout the park. It was as if I had been instantly transported to a tropical paradise in the South Pacific, completely forgetting that I was in Orlando. By the end of the day, I had a phone full of pictures featuring gorgeous flowers and plants I couldn’t begin to identify but loved showing people. You can imagine my delight when I got the opportunity to take a personal tour of Volcano Bay’s horticulture with two of the people responsible for designing and maintaining it, Dan York and Bill Orenzow.
