The holidays can be a stressful time for all of us. Why don’t you take moment for yourself and learn how you can find peace through indoor plants and therapy gardens? The Florida-Friendly Landscaping™ Public Education Program Coordinator, Melissa West, will teach you about the benefits of houseplants, indoor gardens, and therapy gardens. She will also offer some gift giving ideas to keep your holidays merry and Florida-Friendly.

Florida-Friendly Landscaping™ (FFL) is the state of Florida’s premier Extension program that promotes sustainable alternatives to “conventional” landscaping, providing guidance on low-impact, environmentally friendly, science-based landscape practices that use less water and reduce pollutant loading to Florida waters. Since 1993, FFL has served Florida as a partnership between the University of Florida, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences Extension (UF/IFAS Extension) and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP).
