Florida-Friendly Landscaping

Have an interest in making your landscape more environmentally friendly while also saving water and money? The Florida-Friendly Landscaping program focuses on a set of nine principles homeowners and communities can use to manage their garden and landscape to conserve water, protect water quality, and promote beneficial wildlife species. These best management practices apply to the lawn, landscape, and edible garden.

We provide educational workshops and assistance with fruit trees, vegetable gardens, and other edible crops in a variety of home production environments.
