So, I'm a recent transplant to the west coast of Florida, which meant giving up my community garden plots in New Jersey; too big a commute. For what it's worth, I am happy to report that I have found a local garden club, as well as a nature preserve, with a butterfly garden, and m volunteering in each.
Just saying.

Go find your local native plant society, they will help you garden with plants that are actually good for the environment, no thins like petunia and hibiscus, which do not support local biodiversity.

I strongly second that advice. Personally, the more I learn about the ecological system as a whole, the more fascinating and emotionally rewarding gardening becomes. I actually LIKE bugs now! Whodda thunk?

Yes, thank you. In volunteering to do some gardening in a local nature preserve, I have met some folks involved with a native plant society.

Welcome to Florida. I left FL recently (after 18 years there), and every time I relocated, either south or north Florida, I took plants with me. Obviously, I have lost and gained a few.
Local garden clubs are fun and definitely a way to learn and get new plants.

Florida summers can be too hot for some plants, petunias for one.

Yes, I've been warned that my presently flourishing Impatiens will suffer, if not die, in the summer heat.

Nice when you don't have to leave your interests behind , when you ove . But be aware , what worked in New Jersey , won't always work in Florida .

I had thought of joining the Master Gardener program here, as i did way back in 1989, in N.J., but the extension office is too far away. I hope to learn from the groups that I've joined.
