The Latest News
Join the campaign!
This year marks a major milestone for the Foundation: 25 years of advocating for Florida’s native wildflowers. To honor that legacy — and to look boldly toward what comes next — we’re having a year-long celebration built around community, storytelling and impact.
2026 Summer Roadsides Report
It’s been a busy summer for our roadsides program! Our first year of surveying with Marion County continued, while volunteers in other areas braved the heat to monitor their designated areas.
25 Years of Planting
For 25 years, we have been committed to planting wildflowers in urban landscapes — and helping others do the same. These gardens bring beauty to our communities while providing critical resources for pollinators and creating habitat corridors through fragmented landscapes.
Why plant native?
YOU can help stem the tide of global insect decline and create habitat and pathways for birds and other wildlife!
Incorporating regionally appropriate native plants into our home landscapes and other urban areas supports local biodiversity, reduces the need for fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides, and conserves water resources, all while providing food and shelter for local wildlife.
