CRESTVIEW — Okaloosa Master Gardener Dave Gordon will present the final program of this year's Okaloosa County Master Gardener Association Lecture Series.
"Native Azaleas and Rhododendrons” is 10-11 a.m. Oct. 19 at the Crestview Extension Office, 3098 Airport Road.
North Florida has a number of native azaleas, and dozens more have been hybridized including the Confederate Series, which is ideally suited for local growing conditions. Most are fragrant, some are evergreen, and all have picturesque blooms.
Gordon’s program will feature many photos of these native azaleas, along with instructions on how to plant and maintain them.
Seating is limited. Call 689-5850 to register.
