The three-leaf clover, a humble plant that's more than just a bit of wild greenery in Timrod Park, Florence SC, is the unsung hero of the garden party, the wallflower that knows how to photosynthesize. And let's not forget, it's Ireland's (shamrock) unofficial ambassador to the world. But remember, if you spot a four-leaf clover among its three-leaf comrades, grab it! According to legend, that's not just a plant, it's a VIP pass to the good luck club. So, keep your eyes peeled; fortune could be hiding in plain sight.

The park also boasts 14 illuminated tennis courts, 10 pickleball courts, a renovated children's playground, various picnic areas, a shelter, a gazebo, a fitness zone, an amphitheater, and several nature trails.

So when I think of innocence I always think of David who you have let talk...
