Calling all interested Master Gardener Volunteers, Master Naturalists and interested members of the public! We need your help.
Do you want to learn about local wildflowers? This might be the perfect opportunity. The UF/IFAS Extension St Lucie County will be conducting a “UF Extension Wildflower Bioblitz” on April 26, 2024 from 8:30 AM – 11 AM. This event will be hosted by UF/IFAS Natural Resources Extension Agent Ken Gioeli.
During this bioblitz event, participants will use iNaturalist to catalog the wildflowers on site. We will venture out on the unmarked, sometimes rough, trails learning about native wildflowers on the UF/IFAS Extension St. Lucie County campus. Participants will be asked to install the iNaturalist app on their phone prior to meeting up on April 26, 2024 and join the project “UF Extension Wildflower Bioblitz 2024.” UF/IFAS Extension St. Lucie County is located at 8400 Picos Road, Fort Pierce. Extension programs are open to all persons without regard to race, color, sexual orientation, sex, age, disability, religion, or national origin. People seeking accommodation can make requests two weeks prior to start of the event.

Spring Plant Sale!
The warm, sunny weather that the Treasure Coast has been enjoying has us ready to dig back into our gardens. Just in time, Garden Club of Fort Pierce brings back its “Plants in the Park” Spring Plant Sale. Plan on joining us for this once-a-year just-the-plants sale!
Find us at the historic garden center club building at the corner of S 10th and Georgia Ave. Wander beautiful shady grounds of Glidden Park and find your choice of perennials, annuals, exotics, and houseplants for sale.
The plants sold at our sale are from the gardens of our members, their families and friends. We’ll be there to help answer your questions and to find the right plant for your garden site (sun, shade, color, height, size, soil conditions, or ease of growing). Monies raised support garden related community projects, such as local veggie gardens and youth projects.
Come find your newest treasure at our April 27th Spring Plant Sale. Hint, hint: Mother’s Day will be just around the corner. We look forward to seeing you this April 27th!
An exclusive invitation to commemorate the families who have lost loved ones to crimes, celebrating and honoring their lives.The event is actually being held at Veterans Memorial Sanctuary Island here in Vero Beach. However, your website does not allow me to enter that. It defaults to three choices, none of which apply. So hopefully. this comes across correctly just. trying to get the word out, especially to the victim's families.
The white city improvement club is hosting its third white city merchant market. Come enjoy our beautiful club property while shopping with some small local merchants. Inside and outside space still available. Please contact Ronna at 772-240-6844, or by email our web page or our facebook site
