Plant This Not That!

Join the Master Gardeners of Lee County for a practical seminar on “Plant This, Not That” for Florida-Friendly Landscaping™ on Florida’s barrier islands. People are naturally drawn to showy, colorful plants, but not all are suited for our coastal environment—some can become invasive or require excessive water and care.

Learn which attractive plants thrive in sandy soils, salt spray, and windy conditions, and which to avoid. Discover tips for selecting drought-tolerant, low-maintenance, and native species that support wildlife, conserve resources, and create a resilient, sustainable landscape. Walk away with clear guidance for making smart plant choices that delight the eye while protecting both your yard and our fragile coastal environment.

This seminar is In-Person only.
