The sun may still shine brightly over the Gulf, but as the days shorten and a hint of fall begins to temper the South Walton heat, we all start looking for ways to capture summer's lushness and bring it inside. Fortunately, the Florida Master Gardener Volunteer program is setting us up for success, inviting local residents to master the art of indoor greenery just in time for the shift.
Horticulture expert Karen Doud is returning to share her passion for house plants in a special lecture designed to help you transform your home into a vibrant, thriving indoor garden. Karen understands that a thriving green space inside is the ultimate antidote to what she calls "the winter blues"—that feeling of seasonal withdrawal that can hit even here on the coast.
Doud’s talk goes beyond the basics of watering and light. She inspires attendees with creative ideas and the technical know-how to keep your specific plant collection flourishing all year long. Whether you're a seasoned plant parent with a sprawling jungle or someone just hoping to keep a simple fiddle leaf fig happy, you’ll walk away with actionable tips and a renewed enthusiasm for your indoor oasis.
“There’s nothing quite like having a thriving bit of the outdoors right next to your favorite reading chair, especially when the weather turns cool,” Doud explains. “We’re going to dive into the secrets of light, soil, and humidity so your indoor garden can not only survive, but truly flourish all winter long. It’s about creating a living, breathing retreat right in your home.”
Organized by the UF IFAS Extension, this lecture is a fantastic opportunity to tap into local expertise and connect with fellow gardeners in the community. You’ll find the Walton County Lecture Series at Padgett Park (810 JD Miller Road) in Santa Rosa Beach.
Ready to secure your spot and guarantee a greener, happier home this winter? The lecture takes place on Wednesday, November 5th at 10:00 AM.
