Will we be provided with a list at closing or are we pretty much on our own? Our sales person is on vacation so couldn't ask him and figured this site would be a good place to ask. Sorry wasn't sure if this should have been posted in the newbie section or landscaping section. TIA

The Sumter County Extension from the University of Florida offers lots of help for us Villagers. You will find plant clinics and classes and speakers. I have tried to educate my Midwestern self on Florida plants but I remain only a work-in-progress.
The extension has plant clinics at the Sumter County Government Annex Office on the corner of 466 and Morse. According to the website, those are on Mondays from 9:00 to 3:00. I have taken leaves and/or pictures there for identification.
Before you start ripping things out, you might want to go to a couple of the classes offered to help those of us who are new to Florida landscaping. I have attended a couple of these classes. It has been a while, but I think I went to Colony Rec Center.
I am not in our TV house right now so I do not have the paper, but you can find the schedule there.
Also, I never have learned to link on my iPad which I am typing to you on right now.
(I forget to find out how until I am in the middle of something.) But, I digress......
So anyway, just wanted to let you know that help awaits through the Sumter County Extension Office and they bring the help conveniently and often to The Villages. We transplants need all the help we can get sometimes.
.....And maybe someone else here can help by posting the link to the Sumter County Extension site.
