🌺 University of North Florida Native Gardens
➡️ Join your NEFL Sierra Club and UNF’s Rhonda Gracie for an unforgettable botanical adventure starting with a guided garden tour of the UNF native gardens!
After the tour, we will help Rhonda rejuvenate the natural areas by eliminating the invasive plants, like Coral Ardisia, that threaten native habitats. UNF will provide lunch for all participants after the invasive plant removal at 11:00, with optional kayaking available for those who are interested. 🚣♀️
*Please, also, bring gloves, water and sunscreen. Long pants are recommended for the work site. Note that there are areas where the ground is not level.
