Plants! These are widely available Florida native species that support a large variety of insects, birds and other wildlife. Planting these species is one option for creating a nature friendly landscape! Imitating the structure and species makeup of habitats native to your area is another great way to go but requires a bit of learning.

Plant species:
-gumbo limbo (reddish trunk)
-live oak (brown trunk and leaves on top right)
-saw palmetto (middle, with fruit and inflorescence on the right)
-wild coffee (middle bottom)
-twinberry (On the left with tiny white flowers)
-coontie (added for Pinecrest Garden’s beloved atalas!)
