Native Plant Workshop

Interested in incorporating more native plants into your landscape, but not sure where to begin? This workshop will include an in-classroom discussion and an outdoor native plant walk! We will be highlighting the ecological and aesthetic advantages of using native species, with a focus on several often-overlooked native species that are low-maintenance and will attract pollinators and other wildlife. By using these plants, homeowners and landscapers can create more sustainable, resilient environments while conserving water and reducing the need for excessive inputs. Let’s shift the landscape paradigm from non-native, water-intensive landscaping practices and promote the use of Florida's rich native flora!

This class will be taught by Dr. Heather Kalaman, Florida-Friendly Landscaping™ Agent, UF/IFAS Extension Orange County and MAC Camacho-Viera, President of the Tar Flower Chapter of the Florida Native Plant Society.

Cost: $15 Registration includes the two-hour workshop, a packet of Florida native wildflower seeds, and a potted Florida native plant.
