My name is Alex; born and raised in north central Florida (Ocala); living in south Florida since 1994. I am a National Wildlife Federation Habitat Steward. I enjoy butterfly gardening and incorporating native plants into my landscape. When Don and I moved into our house in 2001 it was nothing but St. Augustine grass, but we've gradually reduced the lawn, added many butterfly and hummingbird-friendly plants, and a bog garden. We had our first hummingbird visitor just one month after hanging a feeder and installing some hummingbird attracting plants.

I enjoy visiting botanical gardens and the seasonal plant sales; good places to find unusual species or those not readily available for sale at most retail outlets. I encourage others to support your local growers, rather than the \"big box\" stores and to get their yards certified through the Florida Yards & Neighborhoods or National Wildlife Federation's Backyard Wildlife Habitat programs.

Zelda and Pugsley are our two pugs, hence my GardenWeb \"handle\".

I live in: United States

My zone is: z10 FL/Broward
