The Pinellas Chapter of the Florida Native Plant Society will have experts available to offer guidance on planting techniques, care, and the ecological advantages of using native species in home gardens and landscapes.
The event is designed to be family-friendly, with activities planned to engage visitors of all ages. Further details regarding specific activities were not provided in the summary.
