01-06-2026 Micro-irrigation: Hands-On, How-To

Join in this informative presentation to learn about micro-irrigation, the water savings it can provide, and practical installation information for your home landscape. The hands-on portion will be taught using demonstration kits featuring common components of micro-irrigation systems. Although participants will not get to keep these kits, we will cover where to find micro-irrigation components and how to design your own system.

What you do in your landscape matters. From the fertilizers you apply to the water you use, your gardening choices can have an impact on land, water, wildlife, and the overall well-being of Florida’s residents.

The Florida-Friendly Landscaping™ (FFL) Program is here to help you learn how to have healthy and beautiful landscapes that protect Florida’s natural resources by following nine science-based principles:

• Right Plant, Right Place
• Water Efficiently
• Fertilize Appropriately
• Mulch
• Attract Wildlife
• Manage Yard Pests Responsibly
• Recycle Yard Waste
• Reduce Stormwater Runoff
• Protect the Waterfront

A Florida-Friendly landscape can be designed to look the way you want, fit the aesthetics of your community, and suit your lifestyle, while being environmentally sustainable. Join us to learn how!
