The UF/IFAS Extension Alachua County Office is pleased to announce the following Environmental and Community Horticulture programs for December 2020. These programs are being offered by Environmental and Community Horticulture Agent Dr. Taylor Clem.
Palm Trees for the Home Landscape – December 1, from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. This is a Zoom webinar.
One of the many things people think about when thinking about Florida is palm trees. Palms have a tropical look, but due to our cooler climate, Florida has a limited number of palms that thrive here, and they require special maintenance practices. This webinar about palms explains the different species and maintenance requirements for having a happy, healthy palm in landscapes.

register online (those needing assistance with registering can call the Extension Office at 352-955-2402). The webinar is limited to 100 participants.
