Want to save money on your landscaping project? Think “Florida Friendly” landscaping!! This type of landscaping promotes the use of native, drought tolerant plants for water conservation. The University of Florida Institute of Food & Agricultural Services has created an online guide to educate the public about how to incorporate this type of landscaping into your design plans.
