For our first Landscape tour we look to Jason Green, who wanted his his landscape to look like the house was dropped right in the middle of a natural area. Bruce Turley took on his designwork and put together a yard that aims to combine native plant communities with landscape design and structure. The property includes coastal as well as inland aspects of Pinellas county, from Mangroves and Beach Sunflower to Slash Pines and Palmettos.

I really enjoyed this. I hope this network continues to produce more videos. Thank you.
I love native landscape designs. I would love to see more. Thanks!
Thank you. Great to see plants I've read about!
very nice to see planting with wildlife in mind. I want to see a shift in what the home owners perceive as beautiful. I get tired of seeing cookie cutter turf and ornimental do nothing plants and water sprinklers and spray trucks everywhere. And little to feed the birds and bees. Too bad that If I tried this in St Pete a crazed neighbor would not like it and call code enforcement because it did not have carpet grass, and the native bunch grass is more than 8 inches tall, or shrubs too tall blocking view of the house, which is of course the idea. Or that plants are covering and growing over the sea wall. One concern I do have is about eventual mature pines in hi winds plus possible dead pines someday due to pine beetle, will they hold up over as overstory species here over time? I love how the pines provide automatic soil mulching services. Native landscapers had no worries of trees toppling onto million dollar homes, But doing the best you can possibly do here. I would think that the original gradually sloping shoreline (without seawall) had more gradual transition to the pines and oaks anyways, they would be further inland. But I appreciate the showing of the plant community all in one lot. The variety of plants selected are the tools.
You have come a long way in native plant advocacy.
I thought I had a native passion fruit, but wasn't sure until I saw it here. Just went to check it and indeed it has a small white flower! It's growing next to an Alexander palm, so I'm going to help it grow up it. Thank you for these videos, I learn so much!
Thank you for supporting native plants! I've bought from Wilcox sand pines and other natives and have gone full native!
I love the idea of the mixed hedge! I'm curious which plant is to the right of the Silver Buttonwood.
I love seeing what natural Florida looks like. Very nice 👍🏼 🌴
Enjoyed this video very much. Beautiful Florida garden.
I’m looking for native plants for the narrow north side of my yard. Any suggestions?
I wish you were here in Miami…😔
Wow! Great tour! I’m doing a Florida Friendly Landscape up in Pasco County. I want to come on down to see y’all and get a few plants from you. Passion vine, wilson stopper and that fire bush. I I’ll come see you ! The next few months. Many thanks for the work you’re doing! Awesome.
I wish there were more ppl like you
W.O.W.
Thanks Bruce! Glad to see these web promotions! Getting the word out. Individual choices can make a difference. Paul B. Seminole
Yes but the real joy is installing it yourself but I love it
Great design!
I remember this property from the Pinellas FNPS landscape tour, years ago. It was a new landscape then. It has grown in beautifully. Love, love, love!
Love this yard 🐛🦋🐝🐞
I absolutely LOVE this! Very informative and helpful – and that homeowner is a true role model, let's all bring back native Florida landscapes that were here long before our houses were!
