The Month of January

During the winter holidays, our eyes are drawn to native plants that shimmer reds and greens of the season. Beauties like Florida holly, with its waxy deep green leaves and bright red berries;  yaupon holly, with its small waxy leaves and small red berries; and the more delicate Christmas berry with red and green as well as a tiny lavender flower, are all our friends.

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s Cedar Key Scrub State Reserve will sponsor a free, guided hike on New Years Day as part of America’s State Parks First Day Hikes initiative in all 50 states.

If you like gardening, like talking about gardening, want to learn more about gardening in Florida and also to help others plan and grow great gardens, then you might want to consider signing up for the Florida Master Gardener program.
