Spring isn’t exactly the longest season in the 352–the weather here tends to shoot from the last frost to summer conditions in short order–but it may be the best time to get outside and bask in all North Central Florida has to offer, from parks, springs, planting tips and walking gardens to Easter Egg hunts, concerts and all sorts of other goings-on. The 352Today Spring Guide is here to let you know what’s happening while the weather is (briefly) glorious. Check back often–we’ll be updating the Guide almost daily with new events and experiences!
