Free Florida-Friendly Landscaping™ Gardening Workshops Scheduled in July 2022

Managing Garden Pests Wisely

Citrus County Utilities’ Florida-Friendly Landscaping™ Program is offering a free gardening workshop on Tuesday, July 12, 2022, from 2:00-3:30pm. Correctly identifying the cause of plant damage is always the first step to controlling an infestation. Inspection, scouting, identification, selecting the least harmful control, and accurate application are important pest management practices.

Right Plant, Right Place

Citrus County Utilities Florida-Friendly Landscaping™ Program is offering a free gardening workshop on Tuesday, July 26, 2022, from 2:00-3:30 pm. Once established, the right plant is often sustainable without additional supplemental watering. Choosing appropriate plant materials, planting them correctly, and managing them wisely ensures a garden’s success.

Palms in Central Florida

Citrus County Utilities’ Florida-Friendly Landscaping™ Program is offering a free gardening workshop on Thursday, July 28, 2022, from 6:00-7:30 pm. Palms are a prominent (and often costly) element in Florida landscapes. Selecting cold tolerant palms, providing the appropriate nutrients, recognizing deficiencies or symptoms of decline, and providing an appropriate control is essential when caring for your palm.
