Residents gathered Sunday, March 8, for the Town of Surfside’s “Native Gardening 101” workshop at 92nd Street and Bay Drive, where community members learned how to care for and grow native Florida plants. Hosted by the Surfside Youth Council, the event brought residents together for a morning focused on sustainability and community engagement.
The free event featured tips from native plant expert Ivy Hernandez, who shared practical tips on supporting the growth of native species and incorporating them into home landscapes. Native plants play an important role in supporting local ecosystems, conserving water and attracting pollinators.
A plant giveaway began at 11 a.m., allowing attendees to take home native plants for their gardens. The event encouraged residents to embrace environmentally friendly landscaping practices while helping enhance Surfside’s natural environment.
