Join UF/IFAS Extension Polk County and Haines City Water Utilities to dig into the beauty and benefits of groundcovers! Discover how these low-growing plants can reduce maintenance, conserve water, and add texture and color to your landscape. Whether you're replacing turfgrass or enhancing your garden beds, we’ll cover Florida-friendly selections that thrive in sun, shade, or anywhere in between. Learn practical tips for planting, care, and design to create a lush, sustainable landscape from the ground up.
