Gardens That Give Back: Designing for Pollinators in Florida

Think you can’t support butterflies and birds while still meeting HOA guidelines? Think again.
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to design a beautiful, HOA-compliant landscape that also supports Florida’s native pollinators and wildlife. We’ll explore how thoughtful plant choices, layout, and maintenance can create gardens that look polished and intentional—while quietly giving back to the ecosystem.
The class includes a guided garden tour with real-life examples of pollinator-friendly, Florida-friendly plants that thrive within typical HOA standards. You’ll see how structure, color, and plant selection work together to create landscapes that satisfy both rules and nature.
What’s included:
Guidance on HOA-friendly landscape design principles
Plant examples that attract butterflies and birds
A guided garden tour for inspiration and real-world application
Four pollinator-friendly plants to take home and plant in your own garden
Whether you’re starting from scratch or refining an existing landscape, this workshop will give you the confidence to create a garden that’s both compliant and full of life.
Design with purpose. Plant with impact. Create a garden that gives back.
Cost is $40
