Ever struggle keeping your outdoor plants and yard healthy and happy? Ever wonder how to lessen the amount of work you put into your landscaping? Find out by joining the City of St. Augustine Beach’s Sustainability & Environmental Planning Advisory Committee (SEPAC) on October 27 at its next event in the environmental/speaker film series.

The program will examine the Nine Principles of Florida-Friendly Landscaping and include a Florida yard makeover TV show so attendees can see the principles in action.

Following the presentation, attendees will hear from area experts and can ask specific landscaping questions. The experts joining SEPAC are Tom Wichman, UF’s Florida-Friendly Landscaping Coordinator, Jordan Whitmire, from Southern Horticulture, and Debra Mixon, from Native Plant Consulting.

The free event will start at 6 p.m. at the Anastasia Island Branch Library, 124 Sea Grove Main Street in St. Augustine Beach.

SEPAC is restarting its environmental education program after a two-year COVID hiatus. The program is also sponsored by the St. Johns County Public Library System.
