NATIVE MINNEOLA

Check out this fantastic article from Minneola resident Nicole Marie Beltran!  Nicole is part of a proposed resident-led project called “Native Minneola.” This proposal focuses on planting species native to the ecosystems of Minneola and testing what grows well and looks good in neighborhoods. Residents of Minneola are encouraged to participate! 

Florida Friendly Plants and Pollinators App

UF/IFAS has released an app that helps residents choose plants that conserve water, protect local ecosystems, and support wildlife! The information is science-based and shows which plants thrive locally and how they help pollinators. The app is great for homeowners, landscape professionals, educators, and UF/IFAS Extension agents. The app is free and can be downloaded through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
