Florida Garden Blogs
Fortunately, I just keep coming across more and more Florida gardening blogs. It seems we Florida gardeners were a little slow to start blogging but we’re picking up steam now. Here’s a mixture of 10 very different blogs.
Gardening Under the Florida Sun - The title grabbed my eye immediately. It does make it sound so romantic doesn’t it? Although there’s nothing romantic about gardening in Florida in mid-August :-). Dani, the owner of this blog, grows some great looking vegetables in her central Florida garden.
John’s Bromeliads - If you love bromeliads this is the blog for you. John’s got a wide variety in his Gulf Coast garden and tons of photos on his blog.
Northeast Florida Paradise - This Jacksonville gardener is stretching the limits - but very successfully, I might add - of growing tropical plants in northeast Florida.
I Like Rare Plants - Eric in south Florida has a hankering for the rare and exotic tropical beauties. You can even purchase seeds from his stock.
Liz and the Professor - Her subtitle “ Life is a Breeze in the Florida Keys” says it all. Gorgeous and colorful photos.
Faithie P - Faith who lives in Clearwater is taking a different approach to her garden blog. She’s documenting all the new stuff she learns about gardening in central Florida.
My Edible Yard - Ara is growing and sharing information on her south Florida organic urban kitchen garden.
The Dirt - Co-writers Penny Carnathan and Kim Franke-Folstad of the Tampa Tribune keeps readers posted on the latest “garden” happenings in the Tampa area with their humorous posts.
Florida Friendly Plants - Riverview Flower Farms keeps gardeners updated on the latest and best producing plants for Florida.
Tom’s Digs - Tom MacCubbin, retired Orange county extension agent, continues to mentor central Florida gardeners with some of the best plant information around.
If you’ve got a Florida garden blog that’s not included on our list, please leave a comment with a link, so we can include yours as well.
Thanks so much for the shout out Susan! :)

Susan,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the plugs. Sorry I missed you at the field trip. I was a hot day.
Kristen...Thanks so much for the additional 3 blogs. I will add them to the list.
ReplyDeleteRick...I am sorry I missed the trip, too. Next time I will make it no matter what. I heard it was great!
I'm working backwards here, but that's only because I found your blog intriguing enough to return to after I'd commented on Graceful Cottage Gardening.
ReplyDeleteSo you have visited The Dirt! I hope you'll soldier through our antiquated software next time and post a comment. (You can always call me if you have a problem (813) 259-7612)
We plan another tour of Rick Brown's flower farm in April - his biggest production month. Date TBA.
