The Florida-Friendly landscape pattern books provide homeowners with design guidelines and suggested plants for typical residential site conditions in four USDA Hardiness Zones in Florida, including North Florida, North Central Florida, South Central Florida, and South Florida. Example planting plans illustrate optional plant layouts for areas such as front entries and patios, under windows and trees, and along fences and walls. Design tip sheets include photos of typical plant problems for each area and a list of the desired plant characteristics to help solve the problem. The tip sheets also offer ideas for selecting plants and locating them for improved function and maintenance. Plant tables for each area provide a list of additional plants with the same characteristics that will also help with the maintenance, function, and aesthetic concerns of that area. The books also include references for additional information on residential landscapes.
