Variety selection, fertilizer options, composting, container choice, and pest/disease prevention are all critical components of a successful garden in Florida. Learn to make newspaper potters and take home free cuttings. Please bring a pair of pruning sheers if you have them.
Barbara Barker is a Florida Master Gardener and a graduate of the University of Florida. Barker purchased a small garden company, The Gourmet Gardener, in 1999. Initially, Barker sold gourmet varieties of seeds and plants to home gardeners as well as fresh cut herbs to local restaurants. Since 2007, Barker has devoted her time to presenting workshops and authoring a book on targeted organic gardening.
