Our speaker, Franco D’Ascanio, President of D’Asign Source, Marathon, FL and D’Asign Source Botanicals, Loxahatchee, FL will focus on “Hurricane Planting” to discuss gardeners’ needs before and after a hurricane.  As a Keys’ native and resident, Mr. D’Ascanio has a wealth of knowledge and experience in our tropical environment. He believes that outdoor living is a true extension of the home and his companies embody that belief.  They offer a variety of services including landscaping and a garden center with exotic palms, salt tolerant plants and much more.  His company’s longevity in the Keys is a testament to his knowledge of what works in terms of planting and care, especially with the occurrence of hurricanes.
