On February 19, approximately 425 people attended Florida-Friendly Landscaping Seminar. The event, which was free and held at Eau Gallie High School featured four engaging presentations.
- Skip Healy, Change of Greenery: Creating Habitats for Winged Wildlife
- 10 Things You Didn’t Know About to Help the Lagoon by Kathy Hill, Indian River Lagoon National Estuary Program
- Grow Your Delicious Food! Sally Scalera UF/IFAS Extension Brevard

These presentations can be viewed on YouTube.
There were 13 vendors outside the auditorium, which attendees visited during breaks as well as before the seminar began. Love Bugs Bakery provided coffee, muffins, and donuts.
The City of Melbourne, City of Palm Bay and City of Satellite Beach organized the event. To improve next year’s seminar, the partners will review the feedback from participants.
