Master Gardener Class with UF/IFAS Extension

Meeting Room B, Leesburg Public Library. The Florida Master Gardener Program is an outreach program composed of UF/IFAS Extension certified volunteers who are trained to provide research-based horticultural education to Florida residents. Learn from their expertise on gardening, landscaping, and environmental stewardship. Each session highlights practical tips and research-based information designed to help our community enjoy and care for Florida’s unique natural environment. Topic: Fall and Winter Color in Your Landscape Many gardeners assume that Florida lacks true seasonal color changes, yet several native and adapted plants bring vivid shifts to the autumn and winter landscape. This presentation highlights the trees, shrubs, and perennials that offer vibrant seasonal interest across the cooler months. Attendees will discover how varieties such as sweetgum, with its striking red and yellow foliage, can transform a yard and provide the dynamic color typically associated with traditional fall climates.
