NOTABLE NEWS

Our monthly meeting this June 17th at 7:30 pm at Mounts Botanical Garden, will feature John Zahina and Winnie Said, both with South Florida Water Management District. Did you ever wonder what the natural landscape was in your neighborhood before Florida was developed? Well, here's you opportunity to learn how to use online resources to peel back the layers of drainage and fill and discover the pre-development landscape of your area of interest. An overview of how this methodology was applied, using vegetation community characteristics and spatially-related soil information (from County soil surveys) to construct a regional Pre-Development Landscape Database of Southern Florida will be included.

Come join us one hour before the June 17th meeting at 6:30pm to help tidy up our native plant garden. Bring your hat, gloves, hand tools, and drinking water.
Below is a map showing the location of the native plant garden.
