Look for the UF/IFAS Extension Bookstore pop-up shop/booth at plant sales and festivals in the spring! They offer a curated selection of Florida-centered and research-based publications, identification decks, and related items on gardening, plants, insects and pollinators, natural resources, and more. Their reference materials can help as you plan your garden, select the right plants, and troubleshoot pests and diseases.
Can’t decide if that sapling will work in your shady back yard? Want to identify what’s been eating your tomato plants? Need to attract more pollinators? Their publications can help!
