The Delights of a Florida Winter Garden

Learn all about winter visitors to welcome to your yard with Master Gardener Liza.

For many gardens and gardeners, winter is a time of rest from the business of growing, flowering, fruiting, and weeding.

But in subtropical Florida, how do plants detect and respond to winter's arrival?

And, what are plants and gardeners busy doing in this delightful season?

Supporting migrating and over wintering birds is an additional service that Florida winter plants and gardens perform with bounty and beauty.
