Winter Garden railroad tracks

I’ve mentioned this before; years ago there was a railroad right through downtown, running where the West Orange Trail is today, in the middle of Plant Street. Recently the Winter Garden Heritage Museum posted a photo of Plant Street from back when the railroad was still present:

Winter Garden Arts in April part 2

Today in front of Winter Garden City Hall was the chalk art event, part of Spring Fever In The Garden and still happening even while the pandemic cancels the garden / plant sales event for the second year. We headed over when judging was happening, and most artwork was finished or close to finished … lots of pictures follow and let’s hope the expected rain doesn’t wash everything away (which did happen a couple years ago!)
