Fall: Florida's Best Gardening Season

Fall should be our busiest gardening season in North Florida. It’s a more comfortable time to be outdoors. Many plants only do well when planted during the cooler weather of fall. Fall planted trees and shrubs have a higher survival rate as compared to those planted in spring. Many nurseries have a better selection of trees during the cooler months. And, nurseries and garden centers could use your business this time of year.

Larry Williams, Horticulture Agent with the University of Florida Okaloosa County Extension Service, will present “Fall: Florida’s Best Gardening Season” for the October 1st First Tuesday Lecture series program at the Crestview Public Library.

The program begins at 10:30 a.m. with coffee and cookies served starting at 10:00 a.m. The library is located at 1445 Commerce Drive (behind the Post Office). For more information call the library at 850.682.4432 or the Extension Service at 850.689.5850
