We use different varieties of bromeliads in flower - which grow on the ground but which also can be an air plant, Weaver said. Gardenia and azalea bushes, marigolds and begonia plants and African violets also will fill the WORC display with fragrance and color. In addition to the display garden, WORC took part in creating a landscape, using native materials around one of the decorator showcases. We are going to show people what they can do with some freeze-hardy native Florida plants, in conjunction with the Florida Native Plant Society, Weaver said. Plants used in the WORC feature garden are sold at the WORC nursery.
Money earned by the nursery pays clients and helps keep the facility running.
