As Florida is developed the native flora is often replaced with
non-native plants. Wildlife habitat is reduced; water, fertilizer and
pesticide usage increases; and the appearance of Florida is altered. But
you can help reduce the damage being done to our ecosystems by viewing
your yard as part of the natural system. This book will help you make a
plan that will work for your yard and choose the native plants that will
thrive there. You will have the joy of creating an aesthetically
pleasing, life-supporting, and environmentally sensitive landscape.
Methods for a small fruit and vegetable garden are also covered.
