WEBINAR — How to Start a Backyard Revolution
Florida’s native plants need you! These plants and the biodiversity that depend on them — think bees, butterflies, hummingbirds and more — need more than a few isolated conservation areas to survive and thrive. Luckily, many can happily coexist with people in developed spaces like backyards. Join us to learn proven strategies to change attitudes and habits to encourage natives instead of eradicating them so we can spark a real “backyard revolution”!
