Florida-Friendly Landscaping for Barrier Islands @ Fort Myers Beach Library
About This Event
Living on Florida’s barrier islands comes with unique challenges and rewards, from sandy soils and salt spray to protecting the fragile coastal environment we call home. This seminar introduces the Florida-Friendly Landscaping™ Principles, adapted for island living, to help residents create beautiful, resilient landscapes that thrive in coastal conditions.
You’ll learn how to select salt- and drought-tolerant plants, reduce stormwater runoff, protect water quality, and support local wildlife—all while conserving resources and reducing maintenance. Whether you’re new to island gardening or looking for fresh ideas, you’ll leave with practical strategies for landscaping that protects our shores and enhances your property.
Presented by UF/IFAS Extension, this program is ideal for homeowners, HOA members, and anyone who wants to enjoy a thriving coastal landscape while safeguarding Florida’s natural treasures.
