Water Conservation
Water Conservation Demonstration Garden
Florida-Friendly landscaping is not only beautiful, it also saves water and protects the environment through the reduced use of pesticides and fertilizer. Native or Florida-friendly plants typically require less maintenance than traditional landscaping.
In partnership with the St. Johns River Water Manager District, Seminole County maintains a Water Conservation Demonstration Garden at the Environmental Studies Center near Spring Hammock Preserve. After visiting the garden, you may be inspired to incorporate these plants or concepts into your own yard.
