    Is your landscape struggling under the strain of unpredictable summer rains and soaring temperatures? Join our drought-tolerant landscaping class to discover native plants that thrive in these harsh conditions. Please register for this event ONLY at ufsarasotaext.eventbrite.com rather than any third party websites, as they are not affiliated with our classes and events.

    For this event, we'll begin indoors at the Shamrock Park and Nature Center classroom, exploring the benefits of gardening with native plants. Then, we'll step outside for a guided tour of the Shamrock Park Demonstration Gardens, learning firsthand how to integrate these resilient plants into your landscape.
