WHY WE PLANT NATIVE
Florida native plants are adapted to our unique climate, soils, and wildlife—making them the best choice for resilient, sustainable landscapes. They require less water, no synthetic fertilizers, and provide essential habitat for birds, butterflies, and pollinators. When we plant native, we restore balance, preserve biodiversity, and help Florida thrive.
