Jamie Snider and Rebecca Heidenreich discuss the importance of native plants

All are welcome to participate in the 14th Annual Landscaping with Florida Natives Tour. Visitors can explore wonderful native plant landscapes at various locations. This year, four homes, one commercial space, and two newly constructed local government sites are available to tour and learn about Florida native plants. The tour is a fabulous look at what homeowners and public spaces have done using native plants in different situations. Native plants are important to preserve our wildlife, pollinators, and local heritage. They require much less maintenance, water, and fertilizer, which benefits our local environment and the Indian River Lagoon. See how easy it is to use native plants and help make a difference in your yard! Conradina is the local chapter of the Florida Native Plant Society.
