Want to give your garden a botanical glow that's also great for wildlife? Florida native plants can put on a show. Think sunshine yellow, powder pink, bright white, ruby red, and the gloriously gaudy fuchsia American Beautyberry. This isn’t just eye candy. Native blooms and berries attract butterflies, bees and songbirds, transforming any garden into a chorus of fluttering wings, buzzing bees and sweet birdsong.

More thank you notes from the children who were at Camp Wekiva last summer. MLGC sends a donation to the FFGC-sponsored Camp Wekiva and the S.E.E.K. camp for teens every year. Camp Wekiva teaches the children about the environment and S.E.E.K. is for the older kids to learn about environmental studies, wildlife, etc. Getting the next generation ready!
