BEWARE! AFTER THIS CLASS, YOU WILL NEVER LOOK AT PALMS THE SAME AGAIN!

Palms are popular plants that represent a slice of Florida paradise! There is a science to growing pretty palms that will thrive in Florida, from wild places to managed spaces. By understanding the fundamentals of how palms grow and employing best management practices, palms can grow for generations!

Did you know that many palm problems start with selecting the wrong palm for the wrong place? Are you a skilled palm reader, telling the difference between a hangry palm and a diseased one?

Join UF/IFAS Orange County Horticulture Extension Agents Hannah Wooten and Dr. Heather Kalaman to learn more about the fundamentals of palms in this 3-hour workshop, offered in both March and September!  We will dig into a general overview of palms including significance, biology and morphology, stressors of palms, diagnostics, and how to best care for palms in the landscape.
