Florida Four-Season Gardening

All programs

Grow real food year-round in Southwest Florida's upside-down growing calendar.

Florida gardening runs on its own clock. This course teaches the SWFL calendar — what to plant when, how to build sandy soil, and how to work with the heat instead of against it.

By the end you'll have a personal, season-by-season planting plan for your space.

What you'll learn

  • Master the SWFL planting calendar
  • Build fertility in sandy soil
  • Manage pests and heat the natural way
  • Plan succession plantings for year-round harvest
