The Nature Coast Chapter of the Florida Native Plant Society meets the second Tuesday of every month at 7:00pm at The Land O’ Lakes Community Center, 5401 Land O’ Lakes Blvd./US 41, Land O’ Lakes, 34639, between SR 52 and SR 54.
The subject of the Tuesday, November 8, 2016 meeting is “Creating Winter Interest in the Landscape” presented by Arnie Rutkis. Arnie is a sculpture/landscape designer and works with Wilcox Nursery. He works on garden projects that are like sculptural interactions with the land, exploring landscape ecology, native plant communities, and creating architecture in the garden.
Arnie will focus on ways to increase aesthetics in Florida winter landscapes by using long season plantings and adding plants with structural characteristics such as berries, branching, unique habits, and interesting foliage, color, and textures. The ecological functions these plants give us will be discussed. Other ideas such as water features, hardscaping art, and mulch options will be presented.
Meetings of the chapter are free, and all interested parties are invited to attend, to bring questions about their yard, and participate in light refreshments and the native plant drawing. Telephone inquiries are taken by Sandy at (727) 207-1853. Chapter website: http://www.pasconativeplants.org.
