Demonstration Gardens
UF/IFAS Extension's demonstration gardens showcase plants and sustainable gardening techniques appropriate to local areas and provide learning opportunities for home gardeners and landscape professionals on design, planting and maintenance procedures. They can be found in most Florida counties and are open to the public free of charge.
On this page, counties are grouped by geographic region (North, Central, and South) and listed alphabetically. To learn more about growing region-appropriate plants, see Getting Started and our Gardening Calendars.
