Our special focus this year is simple: creating a healthy, welcoming environment for people, pollinators, birds, and wildlife in our neighborhood. By choosing Florida Native and Florida Friendly plants, you help your yard thrive through both drought and summer downpours—while reducing the need for extra water, fertilizer, and maintenance. The right plants in the right place make gardening easier and more sustainable for everyone.
Plant Swap
Bring your cuttings, extra or newly propagated plants, or garden related items to share. Label with your plant’s name and care instructions. Not sure what you have? No problem! We’ll have knowledgeable neighbors on hand and can help with plant
identification and growing tips. It’s a wonderful way to learn from each other and discover what grows best right here in OSE. Please avoid bringing invasive plants! https://www.floridainvasives.org/plant-list/
