Native Plants and Native People
About this Event
Florida's first people used plants for food, shelter, and medicine. The native plants they used can be just as helpful for us today. Join us to learn how!
9:00 AM - Welcome, and tour of our newly planted Indigenous Peoples' Garden. Sacred Lands Preservation and Education stewards a 1000 year old archeological site that was once home to the Tocobaga people.
10 AM - 12 PM - Guest speakers and presentations on: How archeologists know what plants were used by Indigenous people; urban container gardening to grow our own food; soil enrichment past and present.
12 PM - 1 PM - free plant giveaway. Apply the principles taught by our guest presenters and grow your own native plant at home!
Program is free and open to all. Advance registration is required for free plant giveaway; plants are in limited supply and registration does not guarantee availability.
