UF/IFAS Extension Florida-Friendly Landscaping Lecture Series

If you have ever looked at your yard and wondered how to make it look good without fighting Florida's heat, sandy soil and summer storms, this free class is a nice place to start. UF/IFAS Extension Indian River County runs a monthly Florida-Friendly Landscaping lecture series for homeowners and gardeners of every experience level.

The series opens with an overview of the Florida-Friendly Landscaping program, then gives each of its nine guiding principles a session of its own. The November class is "Protect the Waterfront," so it is a good fit if you live near the lagoon, a canal or a pond, or if you just care about the water around us. The classes are led by certified Florida Master Gardeners. They are practical and research-based, and you should leave with ideas you can use at home, in shared spaces or in a community landscape.

The class runs Wednesday, November 25, from 10:30 to 11:30 AM. The organizer's registration page lists it at the North Indian River County Library, 1001 Sebastian Boulevard, Sebastian. It is free. Reserve a spot through UF/IFAS Extension Indian River County's Eventbrite page for the event.
