New Design for Florida Native Plants at the Orange County Admin Building Florida-Friendly Garden

Learn about some design concepts and Florida native plants species used to give our Florida-Friendly Landscaping downtown garden a makeover. Native plant expert, Amanda Martin of Grounded Solutions Inc., gives you a virtual tour of the new planting areas. The planting includes more than 17 species of Florida native plants that will boost pollinator visits to the site and increase biodiversity. The garden receives more than 500,000 visitors each year and this makeover will not only improve the curb appeal of the garden, it will help educate visitors on the importance of planting native plants. Installing Florida-Friendly plants reduces water and fertilizer use and provides a habitat for butterflies and other pollinators which are all things we look forward to improving in this garden. Thanks to Florida Wildflower Foundation for making this garden makeover possible. Learn more at: sfyl.ifas.ufl....
