Celebrate Native Plant Month with Upcoming Classes

April marks Native Plant Month, a time to honor Florida’s rich plant diversity and the essential role native species play in maintaining healthy ecosystems. Native plants are well adapted to Florida’s unique climate, making them drought tolerant, low maintenance, and naturally resistant to many pests and diseases. By incorporating native plants into your landscape, you can reduce water use, minimize the need for fertilizers and pesticides, and provide critical habitats for pollinators, birds, and other wildlife. These plants enhance both the environment and the beauty of your outdoor space.

If you’re ready to embrace native landscaping, don’t miss our Florida Native Landscaping webinars! This class will explore the ecological and aesthetic benefits of native species, featuring several overlooked plants that are easy to maintain yet highly valuable. Participants will gain practical tips on selecting native plants suited to their landscape, along with guidance on site preparation and maintenance. By moving away from non-native, water-intensive landscaping practices, homeowners can cultivate vibrant, sustainable outdoor spaces that reflect Florida’s natural charm.

The webinar will be offered at 1 pm and 6 pm for a $5 registration fee, which includes access to the class and a native wildflower seed packet that will be mailed directly to you. Plus, five lucky attendees will be randomly chosen to receive a special giveaway!

Celebrate Native Plant Month by joining this educational session and taking the first step toward a more sustainable landscape.
