The UF/IFAS Extension Alachua County Office is pleased to announce that the “Plantings of the Month” for January is native trees.
North Central Florida is home to a diverse range of native trees that contribute to the region’s rich biodiversity and provide numerous benefits to the environment and local communities. Native trees are adapted to the unique conditions of North Central Florida, including its sandy soils, humid climate and periodic droughts.

The Plantings of the Month program is a collaborative effort between the Alachua County Commission, UF/IFAS Extension Alachua County, Alachua County Master Gardener Volunteers, Alachua County Public Library, Grow Hub and Working Food.
