The Work We Do

Our members have maintained our Florida Friendly/Native Garden for 10 years through our member's knowledge and hard work. The garden is located behind Lakewood Ranch (LWR) Town Hall. We work on the second and fourth Tuesday of every month, in the morning.

Our garden has matured; trees and shrubs have grown and the ensuing shade has not been conducive to Florida Native Plants. We have been experimenting with interesting shrubs and combinations of native and Florida friendly plants for a pleasing palette of color and texture. We plan to make this an ongoing project as we discover a variety of plants growing in the shade and tolerate our Florida climate.

Lakewood Ranch asked us to design and plant an additional new area abutted to our garden and that precipitated our decision to redesign our old garden to complement the new garden. We have expanded its size by dedicating a Memorial Garden to our beloved members who have passed away. You are welcome to come out, socialize, and learn about our Florida Friendly/Native Garden plants. There will be opportunities to take clippings of plants to transplant to your own garden.
