Program Description

Event Details

Former Master Gardener Kim Cottrell, author of Growing Up Florida Friendly, shares how kids can create a Florida-friendly landscape. Ms. Kim will talk to kids about some of the challenges we face in Florida, like how to tell good bugs from bad bugs, and how even kids can create a healthy and beautiful landscape in their own yards. She will also take you on a deep dive into the 9 principles of Florida-FriendlyTM Landscaping. You can review the book later, with your parents, to learn about the rest!

Part of our STEAM Explorers programming series for children ages 5-11. STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math. This is a great opportunity for parents and kids to learn and get creative together!
