Learn how to convert a traditional landscape to one that has ecological function, using primarily native plants. Maintenance considerations will also be discussed.

Jody Walthall co-founded Native Nurseries in Tallahassee in 1980. He and his wife, Donna Legare, combined their passions for native plants, nature study, planting for wildlife and organic gardening to model their store after a nature center rather than a traditional garden center. Jody graduated from the University of Florida’s School of Forest Resources and Conservation with a major in Wildlife Ecology. He worked as landscape designer at Native Nurseries until his retirement after 40 years, passing his knowledge to the younger generation who now run the business. In his spare time, he loves “messing about in boats” – canoeing, sailing and motoring – exploring the rivers and Gulf coast of North Florida.
