County Master Gardeners to hold free program
Lee County Master Gardener volunteers will host a “Florida Friendly Landscaping for Barrier Islands” class on June 27 from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. at the Sanibel Public Library, at 770 Dunlop Road, Sanibel.
Presented by Mariana Pardo, Stephen Wener and Rose Larkin, the class is geared toward residents and business owners on a barrier island and will promote the nine basic principles of Florida-Friendly Landscaping. The information will focus on how vegetation can protect islands from storms and which plants can endure such events. It will also include how human actions can sustain the ecosystems of islands.
Afterward, an optional walk will be available at the Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation’s Native Landscapes & Garden Center at the Bailey Homestead Preserve, at 1300 Periwinkle Way, Sanibel.
The program is free and open to all ages and levels of experience.
Registration is required.
