About this Event
At the very end of February, or the beginning of March, the plants in our home landscapes begin to show signs of the start of another Florida growing season, and gardeners get the urge to garden! If you are wondering what needs to be done in your landscape for best springtime care, then this presentation is for you. We'll review routine landscape maintenance tips and tricks, as well as discussing larger jobs to do before the Florida heat sets in.
What you do in your landscape matters. From the fertilizers you apply to the water you use, your gardening choices can have an impact on land, water, wildlife, and the overall well-being of Florida’s residents.
The Florida-Friendly Landscaping™ (FFL) Program is here to help you learn how to have healthy and beautiful landscapes that protect Florida’s natural resources by following nine science-based principles:
- Right Plant, Right Place
- Water Efficiently
- Fertilize Appropriately
- Mulch
- Attract Wildlife
- Manage Yard Pests Responsibly
- Recycle Yard Waste
- Reduce Stormwater Runoff
- Protect the Waterfront
A Florida-Friendly landscape can be designed to look the way you want, fit the aesthetics of your community, and suit your lifestyle, while being environmentally sustainable. Join us to learn how!
