Claude responded: June is prime time to expand your native plantings, and this year rainy season arrives right on cue.
June is prime time to expand your native plantings, and this year rainy season arrives right on cue. Tropical Audubon Society’s Go-Native Plant Sale, presented by Galloway Farm Nursery, is set for Saturday, June 6 on the organization’s 2.2-acre wooded grounds in Miami. Master Gardeners will be there to help match plants to your specific landscape and answer cultivation questions.
The focus is on native species that do double duty — low maintenance for the gardener, high value for local wildlife. Birds, bees, butterflies, ladybugs and bats all benefit, and even a small patio or balcony can be transformed into a functioning pollinator habitat. Visitors are also welcome to walk the nature trails winding through the society’s Pine Rocklands and Tropical Hardwood Hammock.
Beyond the plant sale, the day includes a pollinator and plant identification session, a self-guided bird walk and a picnic area under the society’s chickee. Handcrafted tropical fruit jams, wild honey from the on-site bee colony, bird note cards and Feather Friendly window decals will also be available.
