The Problem

Florida wildlife, including birds and butterflies, need plants that are native to Florida for food and for habitats. We need food that is healthy and nutritious. My goal is that the grandchildren will be aware that they each make a difference in supporting the plants and animals native to our Florida Ecosystem, and in helping to grow healthy vegetables for us to eat.

Our Plan

My grandchildren and I provide food and habitats for butterflies, caterpillars and birds using plants native to Florida. We also grow vegetables for us to eat in a hydronic system. The grandchildren help to choose plants, and they help to plant and care for them.
