As you consider what you’re going to do to rid the winter freeze evidence from your landscape, you have an opportunity to ensure that your landscape is Florida-friendly and that it will be more cold tolerant in future winters.
Planting the right plant in the right place is important to achieve a landscape appropriate to your region while reducing the need to apply water and fertilizers. Visit the St. Johns River Water Management District’s Waterwise landscaping Web pages for tips and a searchable plant database.
This is also a good opportunity to reduce overall water consumption inside and outside by obtaining Florida Water Star certification. By meeting the program’s water-conserving criteria, you can have your home certified under the “bronze” program. Details on how to qualify are in the qualifications points list.
The University of Florida also maintains a Florida-friendly Landscaping Web site that offers many tips for landscaping in Florida.
