I'm familiar with the demonstration gardens at the UF/IFAS Polk County Extension Office and the Hwy. 27 Visitors Center. The landscaping is beautiful and inspiring. In fact, they inspired me to begin my own Florida-friendly planting at home. It's great to have a nice yard that can take whatever comes (rain or drought).
