Celebrate Earth Day by visiting the enchanting Live Oak at Lichgate! 🌳 Its vast canopy has watched over Tallahassee for centuries, providing shade and solace to those who visit.

Built by FSU English professor Laura Jepsen and named for the gates of medieval England, Lichgate Cottage is reminiscent of the fairytale cottages of childhood stories. The grounds include butterfly, perennial, and daffodil gardens, a labyrinth, and a magnificent Live Oak tree dating back to the days of Shakespeare.
