Resources to Help You Create a Florida Friendly Landscape
Many property owners may be finding that much of their landscaping isn’t thriving in our Florida environment. Perhaps the year past has taken a toll on some of the current foliage, or just some simple guidance to create a new look is desired.
The good news to anyone wanting to make some changes to their home or business property is that one of the best guides available to Florida residents is available for free. This guide includes more than 110 pages of clear and concise information about a wide variety of plants including:
- Soil Requirements
- Water Requirements
- Wildlife Attractant Qualities (Bird, Butterfly, Hummingbirds)
- Sun Requirements
- Growing Habits
- Flowering Period
- Florida Planting Zone Recommendations
- …. more
The guide is provided by the University of Florida and has been uploaded to the 3Meadows website for easy access for residents and other visitors interested in our community. Click on this link to the Landscaping Guide, or follow the “Florida Friendly” page under “Publications” for both this guide and the shorter Handbook Guide. This guide will take about a minute to download at high speed internet connection, so be patient. It is in Adobe PDF format and requires compatible reader installed (available from our home page for those without one) to view the guide. Once downloaded, you can view, print or save for future reference.
This guide is really a “must have” for those wanting to do some landscaping in Florida.
