FANN is hosting the second workshop in the GrowNative! education series for nursery growers on Friday, April 29, 2016 at Green Isle Gardens Nursery in Groveland, Lake County. Nursery owner Marc Godts will review butterfly and pollinator-friendly production methods and cultivation of native ecotype Milkweed (Asclepias spp.) without the use of pesticides. Marc is serving as FANN’s lead on native Milkweed production and has been distributing regionally appropriate Milkweed seed to FANN growers as part of the Florida Milkweed Project. Marc will also review cultivation practices for growing upland plants (e.g., sandhill, xeric flatwoods) in nursery conditions.
