Enjoy this relaxing 5-10 min walk; depending on the season, you can see beautiful flowers, decorative plants, & citrus fruits on the trees. Thanks to a recent finder, I found out this garden used to be the largest publicly owned collection of camellias in the country!
This well cared-for garden is a beautiful place to relax and unwind, and is mostly wheelchair accessible, except for a small unpaved distance near the final location. You will not need to do any bushwacking, and the cache is not in the plants, so please do not damage the landscaping by going off the path.

At the posted coordinates, you will find a metallic circular plaque with a beautiful raised image on it.
Find the large word in the center of this plaque.
#1 The last letter of this word is the __ (#) letter of the English alphabet.
Subtract (answer #1 X 10) from last two digits of posted North coordinates (61) = last two digits [AB] for the final location.
#2 The first letter of this word is the __ (#) letter of the English alphabet.
Divide the last two digits of the posted West coordinates (56) by answer #2, and add 5. This will give you the last two digits [CD] for the final location.
Final coordinates:
N 29° 38.3AB
W 082° 20.9CD
Once you arrive at this final location, have a seat & enjoy the view. When you are certain no one is watching you, make the grab. You will need to bring your own pen. Please close tightly and replace securely so others can enjoy this find too.
