Workdays are open to the public and are great opportunities to become familiar with native species and gardening techniques, including how to care for and maintain coastal species. County staff will provide all necessary tools and equipment. Volunteers should wear comfortable clothing and bring a water bottle.
Volunteers of all ages are welcome, although volunteers under the age of 18 will need a parent or guardian onsite for the duration of the event. Volunteers should register in advance on Eventbrite: PKGardenWorkdays.eventbrite.com. There is no cost to register.
The Perdido Key Coastal Demonstration Garden was installed in 2021 thanks to funding provided by the Pensacola and Perdido Bay Estuary Program’s Community Grant Program. The garden highlights native coastal species and exhibits various landscape techniques suited for the barrier island. All plants are approved for use under the Perdido Key Habitat Conservation Plan and provide benefits to native wildlife and pollinators.
For questions regarding the garden or workdays, the public should contact Samantha Bolduc at [email protected]. Stay up to date on the garden and future projects by following Escambia County Natural Resources Management on Facebook and Instagram.
