A guest speaker from from the Hillsborough County Extension Service came to our HOA meeting to help homeowners with a visual presentation showing plants, mulch and types of turf grass that will grow beneath oak trees. Additionally, information was provided on how to water and fertilize.

 

The county has a Help Desk with Master Gardeners who can answer questions about landscape problems such as lawn and pest problems, what to successfully grow and when and how to water effectively. Call them from 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday at (813) 744-5519 or email them at hillsmg@ad.ufl.edu.
