Oasis in a Pot: Building a Florida Native Aquatic Rest Stop

This workshop focuses on creating a Florida Native Aquatic Container Garden, specifically designed as a functional "rest stop" for native insects and local wildlife. You will learn to build a miniature wetland that provides water, nectar, and habitat for pollinators like butterflies, bees, and dragonflies.

Class Overview
Florida’s insects are in decline, and urban "habitat highways" are more important than ever. In this course, we transform simple pots into thriving aquatic ecosystems. You’ll learn how to use Florida-native wetland plants to create a permanent water source that supports everything from migrating Monarchs to mosquito-eating dragonflies.

Who This Class is For

• Apartment & Condo Dwellers: Learn how a single pot on a balcony can become a vital wildlife corridor.
• Nature Lovers: Anyone looking to attract dragonflies—the ultimate natural pest control—to their patio.
• Sustainable Gardeners: Homeowners looking for low-maintenance, high-impact Florida-Friendly Landscaping™ solutions.

Why Take This Class?
By the end of this session, you won’t just have a pretty pot; you’ll have a functional piece of the Florida Everglades. These "mini-wetlands" act as biological filters, provide oxygen to your micro-habitat, and offer a safe landing for exhausted pollinators.
