A recording of the webinar will also be available on YouTube after the program ends.


Discover the pleasure that comes from gardening with native wildflowers and plants. From the simple beauty they offer to the vital resources they provide for butterflies, birds, bees and other wildlife, native plants bring life to any landscape. In her talk, Stacey will highlight some of Florida’s many native species that are easy to grow and maintain in a residential landscape while also providing essential food and habitat for wildlife. She’ll show you how to beautify your landscape with natives and transform it into a living ecosystem with “real Florida” style.
