It's a little late notice for this, but I've been sick and out of blog mode for a while here. For those of you who can make last minute events, you are not going to want to miss the latest USGBC event.
Gil Nelson has been on the graduate committees of a few of my friends from FSU. He is one of the most knowledgeable individuals when it comes to native flora in Florida, and a very interesting guy!!! |

Join us for some drinks, hors d'oeuvres, and a presentation about Florida Native Plants, by Gil Nelson. Gil Nelson is a writer, naturalist, and educator who works in Tallahassee, Florida and lives in southwest Georgia. He writes, speaks, edits, and consults on botany, natural history, ecology, outdoor recreation, and environmental science topics, especially as they relate to Florida and the southeastern United States. During his presentation, Mr. Nelson will briefly overview a few statistics about Florida’s flora, talk about natives vs. non-natives vs. invasives, address some of the benefits of using natives, and highlight a couple dozen native plants that are well adapted for residential and commercial applications.
