What attracted me to Central Florida is its lush greenness, so luxuriantly vibrant and such pleasure to the senses. It is always a pleasure to come home after a journey elsewhere, away from Central Florida. That rich aroma full of green  life is very special, for it is uniquely Central Florida and no where else. Whenever I step into the parking garage of the Orlando International Airport upon my return, as the glass door opens, I would inhale deeply to allow my brain to register that I am truly home.

There is such a great variety of plants, trees, and shrubs that may be planted here in Central Florida. But in order to find out the best location and time to plant specific trees or shrubs in order for them to thrive, you may want to consult or learn from those who have had more experience and expertise in this area. Fortunately UF/IFAS Extension has a class for the 2017 Horticulture Classes & Workshops in “Selecting, Planting, and Pruning Trees and Shrubs” on Saturday, June 3, 2017, from 9:00-10:30 am or Thurs., June 8, 2017, from 6:00-7:30 pm. at 6021 S.Conway Rd., Orlando, FL 32812. It will be a great opportunity to learn about:

1. Right plant for the right place
2. When it is the best time to plant trees and shrubs in Central Florida
3. How to plant a tree or shrub
4. How to get these trees and shrubs established in the landscape
5. Should you put fertilizers and compost in the planting hole
6. Should you stake trees and shrubs after you plant them
7. How o prune your trees and shrubs properly and safely
8. Know what tools to use
9. How to sharpen these pruning tools

Since Pre-Registration is required for material and seating, deadline for registration is 2 days before class date. Therefore, today  (June 1, 2017) is the last day you may register for this class unless otherwise indicated. Call 407-254-9200 to see if tickets are available for purchase.
