SUMMARY:Florida-Friendly Landscaping: Water Efficiently
DESCRIPTION:FFL Principle Number 2\, “Water Efficiently\,” provides guidance on how to irrigate right and not over water. Save water and save money!\n\n\n\nThis is the third in a series of Florida-Friendly Landscaping webinars for residents of Pasco County! Please register for each individual webinar presentation of the series\, as the corresponding Zoom link will be sent out via email two days prior to the event. The Zoom link will only apply to the individual presentation.) \nAn efficient irrigation system conserves water and helps to ensure that fertilizer and other pollution doesn’t flow into water bodies. However\, even an efficient irrigation system can waste water if not appropriately programmed and regularly maintained. \nIf an irrigation system is present\, a rain shutoff device should be installed and maintained to prevent irrigation after a rain event. Don’t let the calendar tell you when to water – look to your plants for telltale signs of water stress and turn on your irrigation system manually instead of allowing the automatic controller to run on a set schedule. Hand watering\, microirrigation\, mulching and mowing at the highest setting are ways to reduce water use in your landscape. \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. \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. Join us to learn how! \n>>> WEBINAR REGISTRATION <<< \nAfter registering for this webinar presentation\, you will be emailed the Zoom link 2 days prior to the event. \nThis lecture is presented by Kate Kaste\, UF/IFAS Extension Pasco County\, FFL Program Manager.

SUMMARY:Florida-Friendly Landscaping: Fertilize Appropriately
DESCRIPTION:FFL Principle Number 3\, “Fertilize Appropriately\,” provides guidance on how to best give your landscape plants the nutrients they need.\n\n\n\nThis is the fourth in a series of Florida-Friendly Landscaping webinars for residents of Pasco County! (Please register for each individual webinar presentation of the series\, as the corresponding Zoom link will be sent out via email two days prior to the event. The Zoom link will only apply to the individual presentation.) \nPlants have varying nutrient needs\, depending on the species\, the age of the plant\, and its location. It’s not always necessary to fertilize your plants or lawns\, and too much fertilizer can weaken a plant\, promote disease\, and invite pests\, in addition to wasting money and harming the environment. Before you fertilize\, you should always determine if it’s really needed\, and if there are any local restrictions. If you do fertilize\, always follow the fertilizer label directions and UF/IFAS recommended rates and application timings to prevent nutrient runoff and leaching which can pollute Florida’s waters. \nBenefits of Fertilizing Appropriately: \n\nGround and surface waters are protected from pollution\nPlant material has the correct color and appearance\nPlants flower and fruit appropriately\nFertilizing only when necessary (not overfertilizing) saves money\, reduces pest problems\, and promotes healthy plant growth\nYou may be more satisfied with the performance of the landscape plants and turfgrass\n\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\n\n>>> RESERVE A SPOT <<< \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.

Join us at the beginning of each month for an exciting\, hands-on learning experience! \nThese student-only sessions are perfect for curious minds ages 6 and up\, offering opportunities to explore marine ecosystems and engage with real-world science. Whether you drop in for a single class or register for the full series\, each session promises discovery\, adventure\, and fun. \nSpaces are limited—reserve your spot today! \n$20 per participant \n  \n\n\n\n\nJanuary 2nd 1:00 – 2:00 PM\nLionfish Dissection\n\nJoin us to explore the ins and outs of the invasive lionfish. Uncover the truth about these problematic fish through a hands-on dissection and learn what is being done to eliminate them.\n\nFebruary 6th 1:00 – 2:00 PM\nShark Science\n\nLearn what makes sharks successful predators in the ocean and some of the challenges they face. Participants will leave with a new appreciation for these highly evolved (and often misunderstood) fish.\n\nMarch 6th 2:30 – 3:30 PM\nWild About Dolphins\n\nJoin us for a journey into the lives of dolphins – one of the ocean’s most intelligent and charismatic marine megafauna. Discover how these remarkable animals utilize echolocation\, communicate with one another\, and can be identified as individuals based on their dorsal fins!\n\nApril 3rd 1:00 – 2:30 PM\nWalking with Wildlife\n\nJoin us for a guided walking tour to get a closer look at the wildlife and habitats found nestled along the St Pete Pier. Students will learn how to become citizen scientists by discovering how to properly identify species and how to import their sightings into a global data collection platform.\n\nMay 1st 2:00 – 3:30 PM\nEco-Vessel Experience: All About the Bay\n\nHave you ever wondered what it’s like to be a marine biologist? When you step into our floating classroom\, you’ll find out! Join us aboard the Discovery to learn all about our favorite estuary: Tampa Bay! This tour includes wildlife watching\, a fisheries trawl to take a closer look at common local species\, and an opportunity to participate in real scientific research. We often spot manatees\, dolphins\, stingrays\, birds\, fish\, and so much more.\n\nMay 8th 2:00 – 3:15 PM\nSeine the Bay\n\nWade into shallow seagrass beds and use scientific nets to collect and identify fascinating nearshore creatures. Along the way\, we’ll explore the vital connections between coastal habitats and the animals that call them home. Students will uncover the unique adaptations that help these estuary species thrive in their dynamic environment.\nAll students need to be appropriately dressed with closed-toed shoes and clothing that can get wet (old tennis shoes\, water shoes\, or dive boots work best). Participants should also bring a towel\, change of clothes and dry shoes to change in to afterwards.\nThis class will be held at the Auer Marine Education Center at 3000 Pinellas Bayway S. Tierra Verde\, FL 33715.
