Environmental Horticulture
The Environmental Horticulture Program consists of a multitude of training and information efforts designed to meet the needs of Palm Beach County’s diverse residential and commercial horticulture audiences.
Southeast Florida has a moderate, semi-tropical climate with 50-60 inches of rainfall annually. The heaviest rainfall is in the spring through fall months with the dry season usually in the winter. We benefit from a warm winter growing environment but do experience occasional freezing winter temperatures. Our unique climate also reverses the vegetable growing season found in much of the rest of the United States, with most temperate climate vegetables grown during the fall, winter and spring months.
