Native Florida Landscape Design Series
The Florida Native Plant Society (FNPS) developed a 3-part “Native Florida Landscape Design Series.” FNPS has created a playlist link to the series for St. Johns Audubon Chapter to view at your leisure.
The series is filled with all the basic information you need to know to create a native landscape in your yard or your community.
The presenter is Karina Veaudry. She has been a Native Plant Landscape Architect for over 32 years and is President of the Pine Lily Chapter of Florida Native Plant Society. The content of each series is listed below:
We are thrilled and thankful to the FNPS for creating this excellent playlist. We believe you will enjoy the entire presentation.
Following the 3-part series is an additional presentation by Doug Tallamy entitled “A Guide to Restoring the Little Things that Run the World.” In this presentation Dr. Tallamy discusses why it is vitally important to add native plants to our landscapes for the good of the insects and to our own health.
This was recorded by the Florida Wildflower Foundation.
