What it does
Florida-Friendly Landscaping is a UF/IFAS programme for home, community and professional landscapes. It provides nine landscape principles, plant-and-pollinator resources and local extension connections.
Florida-Friendly Landscaping organises a landscape decision around the site rather than a decorative plant list alone. Its principles include choosing the right plant for the place, efficient watering, wildlife, yard-waste recycling and runoff reduction. A plant-and-pollinator guide is available through browser and mobile routes, while local agents and expert questions offer location-specific help. Begin with the home-landscape route and the conditions of the space. The programme is designed for Florida; its planting context and extension network should not be mistaken for a universal specification for other regions.
