New to Florida Gardening? Then this program is the solution – also a great gift idea for your favorite gardener who may enjoy expanding their gardening skills to include the nuances of tropical gardening in Southwest Florida. In part one, we introduce the subjects of palms, butterfly gardening, our climate and its impacts on your plant choices, identification of natives, ornamentals and invasive species, realties of our soil and review of taxonomy. Part Two of Introduction to Florida Gardening will enhance the topics and broaden your gardening experience. Following the classroom portion, we will take a tour of our Palmetum. For your convenience, we offer a Tuesday afternoon or a Saturday morning edition of this class.

Directions to the classroom and check-in instructions will be emailed to all registered participants 24 hours before the program. If the program includes a garden tour, be prepared with sun protection, comfortable walking shoes and water. Each participant will receive a complete set of the written course materials and a 20% Discount Coupon for plant purchases in our Garden Shoppe.
