Learn about Florida's indigenous palms and natives that stun with beautiful bark, fragrant flowers or fabulous fruits. Find out about natives that will thrive on challenging sites, be it near the beach, at pond's edge, or in the shade. Discover how to create native hedges, or increase security in a natural way. Speaker: Laurie Albrecht, UF/IFAS Extension, Palm Beach County Environmental Horticulture Agent.
