Have questions about gardening? Food? Pests?
Lake Sarasota residents with questions about plantings, gardens, bug control, mulching, growing food, native species, etc. may find a useful resource in IFAS Sarasota, the local branch of the state's extension service that offers a library and consultations to residents for agricultural and gardening needs. From their site: UF/IFAS Extension Sarasota County is a partnership between Sarasota County , the University of Florida's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) , and the USDA . Our mission is to translate research into community initiatives, classes, and volunteer opportunities related to our three program areas: food systems, water and environmental resources, and youth and community resource development. Part of the national Extension system founded in 1914, we provide practical education to build a better future. View a timeline of our history.
