Florida DOT Wildflower Program (182 words)
FDOT is a leader in recognizing the values of native wildflowers
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) initiated the Florida Wildflower Program for state roadsides in 1963 as the result of a contractor who bought some pasture grass for a roadway project along SR19/US27, just south of Tallahassee.
While the FDOT is no longer able to provide wildflower seed, posters, pamphlets, and related programs due to the current state of emergency we are in, the planting of wildflowers on state roads is expected to continue.
