About this Event
Florida-Friendly Landscaping Principle #1 is "Right Plant, Right Place" and includes site condition-matching native and non-native plants, but NEVER invasive plants. Properly selected native plants can be incorporated into home landscapes to add interest, drought and cold tolerance, and wildlife use. If you want to welcome pollinators into your home landscapes, native plants are the way! Join us to learn about great native plant choices for Pasco County landscapes.
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!
