Native Plant Day - to be held in Palmetto Bay, Miami-Dade's Bill Sadowski Park, Saturday, March 23 - 9 AM to 4 PM

Readers and fellow residents know how I enjoy our unique Palmetto Bay / South Miami-Dade environment.  Keep it native as planting natives mean no fertilizer or irrigation as our local plants are appropriate to our South Florida environment.  Here is a family friendly, yard friendly event will take place at Bill Sadowski Park in Palmetto Bay - come on out.
