SUMMARY:Right Plant\, Right Place
DESCRIPTION:How to Select Florida-Friendly Plants \nLandscape plants grow better using less water\, less fertilizer and less pesticide if they are selected to match landscape conditions. \nFlorida-Friendly Landscaping Principle #1 is “Right Plant\, Right Place” and this presentation helps you know how to make those landscape matches! \nAchieving a healthy\, low-maintenance home landscape starts with putting the right plant in the right place. Select Florida-Friendly plants and turfgrass that match a site’s soil\, light\, water\, and climatic conditions. Buy quality plants that welcome wildlife\, consider mature plant size when you make your purchase\, and aim for a diversity of trees\, shrubs\, and groundcovers. Once these plants are established\, they’ll require minimal amounts of supplemental water\, fertilizer\, or pesticides\, saving you time and money. Help stop the spread of invasive plants by removing them from your yard. \nWhat you do in your landscape matters. From the fertilizers you apply to the water you use\, your gardening choices can have an impact on land\, water\, wildlife\, and the overall well-being of Florida’s residents. \n>>> REGISTER HERE <<< \nThe Florida-Friendly Landscaping™ (FFL) Program is here to help you learn how to have healthy and beautiful landscapes that protect Florida’s natural resources by following nine science-based principles: \n\nRight Plant\, Right Place\nWater Efficiently\nFertilize Appropriately\nMulch\nAttract Wildlife\nManage Yard Pests Responsibly\nRecycle Yard Waste\nReduce Stormwater Runoff\nProtect the Waterfront\n\nA Florida-Friendly landscape can be designed to look the way you want\, fit the aesthetics of your community\, and suit your lifestyle\, while being environmentally sustainable.
