Located in one of Florida’s most beautiful areas, Plant City is a wonderful agricultural destination with a subtropical climate throughout the year. Although its Gulf Coast climate boasts plenty of tropical flora, as well as an abundance of deliciously local fruits and vegetables, the city itself is actually named after Henry Plant, a famous 1800s railroad developer. Nonetheless, Plant City is a unique variant of most typical Florida cities — and it’s a prime example of why you don’t need sand and sea to enjoy living in Florida (and it’s also only an hour away from Disney World).
There’s always something going on in this great city. What will you do when you move to Plant City?
