The Demonstration Garden is beautiful. It is adjacent to the parking lot of the Extension Office and across from the Demonstration Pond. There are specimen trees planted in a grove type setting. Citrus, Mulberry, Fiddlewood, Elderberry, Sugar Berry and many more. There are many native butterfly plants like Tropical Sage, Beauty Berry, Porterweed, Wild Coffee, Dune Sunflower, Passion Vine and Fire Bush. There is a three bin composting demonstration area. This garden feels like a park and it is very educational. A great place to get ideas of what to plant in your yards. Native plants are the best because they have adapted to our climate, soil and can survive in our wet and dry seasons.

Master Gardener was very helpful for palm tree care and identifying a mystery tree in our yard.

This location accepts horticulture book donation's. They offer educational materials and provide expert assistance with horticulture and a variety of nature related topics. Outstanding help was what I personally experienced here. Large alligator in the pond out front near Harbor View Rd.

This document is the Water Test Form (SL133) used by the UF/IFAS Extension Soil Testing Laboratory. The sheet gives details about collecting samples and testing fees. To download the form, visit http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/pdffiles/SS/SS18400.pdf. The Water Test Form must accompany water samples submitted to the UF/IFAS Extension Soil Testing Laboratory. This service is available to all Florida residents. Analyses performed are pH, electrical conductivity, Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, Na, Cl, hardness, total carbonates, and suspended solids. Please note that these tests will not determine if the water is suitable for human consumption. Bacteriological tests may be available from the county health department or from some commercial laboratories.
Some people are allergic to Brazilian Pepper. If the smell a leaf or touch it they may have a reaction. Inhaling the smoke would be very bad for someone allergic to the tree.
You should bring in an example to the Extension office, the plant lifeline by phone or in person or take it to a plant clinic. It sounds like it is a gall which is formed by a tiny wasp and it’s young. Oaks provide food and shelter to over 500 species of insects like moth and butterfly larvae (caterpillars).
The Extension office is closed on Saturday. There are plant clinics in the area that have Saturday hours. Call the Extension office and they can help you. There is a plant clinic at Lowes on 41 in Port Charlotte. They are on Summer break and will resume their schedule in September. There are plant clinics at Home Depot and several libraries too all on different days.
