Planting and Conservation
Planting grants
Planting grants supply resources that give wildflowers a dynamic presence in public places, at schools and along roadways. They provide hands-on experiences for adults and children while beautifying communities and parks, and creating an awareness of Florida’s natural landscape.
Viva Florida
Celebrate Florida’s natural beauty! Viva Florida grants fund native wildflower and planting projects in parks, nature centers and public spaces—creating vibrant landscapes that showcase the ecological and aesthetic value of Florida’s native plants while inspiring communities to embrace and protect them.
Seedlings for Schools
Bring Florida’s native wildflowers to life in your classroom! This grant provides an assortment of native wildflower seedlings, engaging educational resources and expert guidance to help schools create thriving learning gardens — sparking curiosity, hands-on discovery and a deeper connection to Florida’s natural world.
Seeds of Knowledge
Libraries, as community hubs, offer a unique opportunity to showcase the beauty and benefits of native plants. The Seeds of Knowledge grant provides funds for native plants, plus educational resources and seed packets — helping libraries create engaging spaces that inspire and connect people with Florida’s native flora.
Protecting roadsides
Roadsides give many native plant species what they need to thrive: sun and open spaces. With carefully timed mowing and care, roadsides can produce beauty and biodiversity while creating a sense of place unique to La Florida, land of flowers. The Florida Wildflower Foundation works statewide to increase the presence of native wildflowers along roadways.
Regional Alliances
Regional Wildflower Alliances are active networks of wildflower enthusiasts that protect native wildflowers. Through communication, collaboration and information sharing, members support and inspire each other as they create knowledge and awareness of native wildflowers and their value to Florida’s environmental and economic health.
