Ani Reviews: A Step-by-Step Guide to a Florida Native Yard

I promised you guys a review and here it is. I've never really done a book review before but I'm doing my best to make this Coherent and Helpful.

[Photo ID: a book, titled A Step-by-Step Guide to a Florida Native Yard by Ginny Stibolt and Marjorie Shropshire.]

Out of all the books I checked out from the library this round, I started with this one because it was the shortest out of all of them--if we don't count the appendix and index, its 101 pages long. You can read where I sort of live blogged a portion of this read here.

I think its a pretty good read! It's definitely a lot more relevant if you are the home owner and most directly in charge of landscaping decisions and such. It gives a bit of advice on how to handle making similar changes in an HOA neighborhood, and provides pointers and resources to other books that can also be helpful in the journey to make your landscape a wildlife-friendly habitat. It focuses on Florida specifically, as denoted by the title, and will frequently remind the reader that gardening in Florida is vastly different from gardening anywhere else. So whether you've been a Florida resident all your life, or are planning on making a move on down here, this book can be a helpful resource if you want to transform some or even all of your yard into a habitat.

After the introduction, the book is separated into seven major sections referred to as Steps. There's Assess Your Property, Plan for Drainage and Stormwater Sequestration, Install Trees, Plant Shrubs, Working with Herbaceous Plants, Build a Wild or Natural Area, and Create Spaces for Human Use. If you're more interested in one part than the others, you can definitely skip around to find what you're looking for. I will say, the Drainage and Stormwater section made my head spin a bit.

I will say this: I don't know if the writers ever fully decided if they wanted this book to be targeted towards those who are already gung-ho about native plants and itching to transform their landscape, or to people who are just beginning to dip their toe into the idea. Overall though, it was a nice and informative read, and the illustrations inside are lovely.

Starting A Successful Garden From Scratch

Vertical gardening techniques are a great way to maximize the area in your garden, especially if you have limited space. By planting shrubs vertically, you can increase the number of plants you can grow in a small area. You can use trellises, stakes, and other supports to grow climbing plants which can add more dimension to your backyard and create a more private and intimate area.

I regards to the "evil evil mint" argument, my grandparents have mint growing in the ground in the backhouse "front yard". And like, you can barely smell it and it's behaving and staying within the designated spot. Like the point of gardening is constant maintenance and they have plenty of time. The mint is not a problem they even have other stuff growing with it and it's not even affecting the other plants at all.

To be honest a lot of yall need to touch dirt and actually work with it if able. I've lived in a place where the only garden we could have was in buckets and whatever container we can find because the manager didn't even want grass growing in the tiny little lawn we did have at the apartment complex. He ripped up the little side dirt patches that were available for garden use and was being used and covered it with cement on one side and wood chips on the other. Like this guy just really didn't want to deal with any fucking greenery at all.

So yeah I do agree with OP and there should be a right to garden law. Of fucking course people who really do want to garden are gonna look up what plants work and what's not. I think we're so used to believing that everyone's an idiot that we forget to give people the benefit of doubt, we are actually smarter than we are believed to be. I come from a long line of farmers/ranchers, my mom taught me how to forage, like I would absolutely love to garden and grow shit I can eat later. I can now only because I live in a HOAless home now and I'm no longer at my previous apartment but my god imagine if I was still there. The bastard put a lock on the water spout to prevent use for watering plants. LET PEOPLE GROW SHIT!

in my opinion it is essential to make a "right to garden" law that means no one can stop you from growing whatever you want in your yard.

I think it should even apply to renters so a landlord is required to allow you to have a garden

And I think this can become a reality

What are the benefits of hardscape restoration?

Hardscape restoration provides numerous benefits, including improved aesthetic appeal, enhanced functionality, and increased property value. Restoring features such as patios, walkways, and retaining walls can breathe new life into your outdoor spaces, making them more inviting and enjoyable. Additionally, addressing structural issues through restoration can prevent further damage and extend the lifespan of hardscape features. This not only enhances safety but also reduces the need for costly replacements. Furthermore, a well-maintained hardscape can increase your property's curb appeal, making it more attractive to potential buyers.
