Adjusting to the Sunshine State’s unique climate, seasons, soil and species can be challenging. And that’s just the everyday weather. Add in hurricanes, floods, tornadoes and thunderstorms, and Florida’s weather can deeply impact our lives — often with little notice.
And as you’ve likely noticed, Florida’s weather patterns are changing. We’re facing higher temperatures, stronger storms and water depletion. Fortunately, there are actions you can take to help your landscape adapt to these changes and mitigate some impacts.
We have information on a range of weather issues affecting the landscape, including drought, hurricanes, cold weather and more. And remember, if you have questions about your garden and landscape, you can contact your county Extension office for local, expert help.
