Apollo Beach Garden Club and Community Forest Garden
We are a group of like-minded individuals who share their successes and failures about gardening and cultivation of plants in Central Florida.
Our organization strives to enrich outdoor garden experiences and education through programs, public awareness and expert recommendations.
The Club focuses on cultivation and propagation of native species, food crops, fruit trees and Florida-friendly plants.
Residents, friends and guests will learn about various plants, local environmental issues, and become more observant of nature.

Today our Junior Gardeners Academy filled up their garden bed with new plant starts that included tomato, pepper, basil, cauliflower, broccoli, romaine lettuce, kale and more. They harvested fresh basil, perpetual spinach and Thai Long Beans. Then they learned just how much amazing stuff we can do with Pumpkins. We can grow a new one from the seeds. We can roast the seeds to enjoy as a tasty & nutritious snack or salad topper. We can make pies, breads, soups & other delicious foods we love from them. And the most fun thing of all is we can carve a

We built a compost Tea maker today. Thank you Josh Thomas for spearheading the project and teaching us.
We are currently brewing up our first batch with compost from our 3 bin system and can't wait to use some of our Johnson-Su Bioreactor compost when it's finished in the Spring.
Next Saturday we will be teaching a full class on how to build and use a compost Tea system.
We will even have the microscope set up so we can see some live action at a cellular level.

Sometimes in zone 10a, we can't grow from seed and we need a helping start. Onion starts have been the BEST produce in our garden over the last year and we just might need some slip starts to kickstart our next season.
Short Day Onion Plants - Dixondale Farms
Each bunch contains a minimum of four dozen plants. Onion plant varieties can be mixed when determining total price of bunches. Each order cannot be split to ship to multiple addresses. After 30 bunches, the pricing starts over.
