Another AWESOME Saturday at the ACG!! Plenty of planting veggies,new seeds, clearing and prepping gardening beds, amending soil, mulching (pine needle mulch) to our native/FFL beds, repairs to fencing, additional irrigation lines, planting some of our native plants that are ready to go, herbs and lettace beds tended to and more so the friendships built all while we are getting our daily “Dirt Therapy”! Even our future gardening kiddos were helping out!!
Sharing some snippets of today in pictures💚🪴🥕🫑🌻🥒🍅🥬🐍🌱💚

Can you name the Florida Native?
Species Name?🪻💜

Hint: This Florida native is excellent for pollinators, especially butterflies, bees, and other beneficial insects. They also fit beautifully into UF/IFAS Florida-Friendly Landscaping™ principles.

🐍🌿 Black Racers 🐍🌱
Let’s Welcome Porter to the Abacoa Community Garden!

💚 Did you know that black racer snakes are excellent to have in a Florida garden? We have a beautiful one residing near the native Porter w**d in the sign garden! These beneficial native snakes fit beautifully with the principles of UF/IFAS Florida-Friendly Landscaping™!

🪴The Southern Black Racer (Coluber constrictor priapus) is nonvenomous and helps maintain a healthy, balanced ecosystem by feeding on insects, rodents, and other small animals.

💚 If you spot Porter or any black racer please leave it alone and give it space! They generally prefer to escape rather than confront people.

🌿 A healthy Florida-Friendly garden welcomes and protects native wildlife!

What an AWESOME Saturday this past week at the garden. We continued to work towards our FFL Recognition! Focus was on clearing the sign bed from all the invasive Mexican Petunia roots and amending the soil too! While working on the North outside bed, we did some serious transplanting and adding in additional Coontie!! Right Plant, Right Place!!
Thanks to all that worked so hard in these areas! You all ROCK! ❤️
To those working on the planting of the Community Beds and cleaning up the garden, you too ROCK! What a difference you made!🪴Thank You!
What a Magical Garden we have!!

Yum! So many garden ingredients in these fritters -sweet potatoes, yuca, chives, tumeric, and hot pepper flakes. Sharing the recipe - but changed the harissa to shawarma and added some fenugreek. Will bring some to garden next Saturday to share (A2 salad and herb bed buddy David Traupman)

🦋 A Tiny Tracker on an Incredible Journey!

Did you know scientists are using miniature solar-powered tracking devices to follow monarch butterflies on their migration from Canada to Mexico?

The Canadian Wildlife Federation is participating in research to better understand their migration routes and the habitats they depend on.

These tiny trackers could help scientists protect the places monarchs need along their journey.

Another wonderful reminder of why protecting native milkw**d, nectar plants, and pollinator habitats is so important! 🌿🌼

So the next time you see a Monarch spreading its beautiful wings take a peak for one of those trackers! 🌸

Well look who I caught clearing the sign bed from the Mexican petunia roots on Saturday!!🌱 Why it was our one and only Liz P!!!!
The FLL recognition for the ACG is moving along!! Presently we have some markers in for the natives that will be going in that bed-Sign Garden! Some more work to do, but we are getting there!!

Welcome to all pollinators🪴🐝🌸
Liz L and I worked on the outside bed to the left of the gate this afternoon! The East side aka the Beauty Berry bed!
The second and third photos were taken after we called it a day!
White Tropical Sage (Salvia coccinea)
Seashore Ageratum (Ageratum littorale)
and Lavender Porterw**d (Stacytarpheta jamaicensis) were planted. We relocated some Salvia that was in the bed and Coontie. We supported additional Coontie plants in that bed. They are all Florida Natives!
We have some grading to do along with mulch but we are almost there!! Plants have temporary signs but official ones coming soon!! We will be labeling all plants in these native gardens. Will include both the common and scientific names🪴
