Grasses offer unique, soft textures into the landscape to break up the stiff foliage of shrubs and other plants in the landscape. Not only do they pair well in groupings with wildflowers, but they offer unique benefits to wildlife in the form of habitat or seeds. Some grasses also bloom and offer seasonal color in addition to their other benefits.
During this series we will be taking an in-depth look a diversity of plants of different categories for your landscape. The plants covered in these videos do well in our area in Central Florida, but have been chosen to be the most applicable to other parts of the state as well.

Shrubs make quite a bold statement in the landscape, whether used as hedges, structural plants or stand-alone specimens. They can be used to give the sense of privacy or tie the rest of the landscape together. Choosing the right shrubs for your yard are important for wildlife too, as many offer berries or fruits for birds and more. Learn about the most popular Florida native shrubs for your yard!
Our mock coastal hammock planting includes things like Shiny Coffee, Cabbage Palm, Marlberry and Beautyberry! Great wildlife attraction while also being salt and drought-tolerant! Over the course of our Nursery Tour Tuesday series, we will be walking through some of the growing or mature native plantings around the nursery. Many of these plantings mimic ecosystems or specific conditions in landscapes, in order to give a more full idea of how to incorporate native plants into your own yard. This program was recorded and produced in partnership with the Pinellas County UF/IFAS Extension.
