Florida Native Plant Society is giving away thousands of plants to green thumbs.
Hosted by the Pinellas Chapter of the Florida Native Plant Society, the annual Backyard Plant Giveaway returns to the Boyd Hill Nature Preserve in November.
Guests can expect expert tips from local Tampa Bay area nurseries, presentations on water-wise landscaping, free seedlings, youth activities and opportunities to learn more about Florida’s native plants.
Plus, best of all, they’re giving away 3,000 native plants, while supplies last.
Parking is limited, and visitors are encouraged to bring only a small box or small container to bring their new plants home.
The all-ages event happens Nov. 7, 10 a.m.-3 p.m., with no cover at 3010 31st St S in St. Petersburg.
Pitch in to help make the Tampa Bay Journalism Project a success.
