The Latest News
Join the campaign!
This year marks a major milestone for the Foundation: 25 years of advocating for Florida’s native wildflowers. To honor that legacy — and to look boldly toward what comes next — we’re having a year-long celebration built around community, storytelling and impact.
Garden Spotlight: Carrollwood Pollinator Corridor
What began as a single Viva Florida garden in Carrollwood has grown into a connected system of habitat sites, demonstrating that when native plantings are designed with pollinators in mind, they can create pathways that sustain life.
25 Years of Conservation
At the heart of everything we do is an ethos of conservation — ensuring Florida’s native wildflowers always have spaces in which to thrive, supporting wildlife and communities alike.
Why plant native?
YOU can help stem the tide of global insect decline and create habitat and pathways for birds and other wildlife!
Incorporating regionally appropriate native plants into our home landscapes and other urban areas supports local biodiversity, reduces the need for fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides, and conserves water resources, all while providing food and shelter for local wildlife.
