More than 20 volunteers spent the morning completing the new LaBelle Educational Garden by installing educational signs, hammock posts and a fountain. The Mayor and Vice Mayor of LaBelle dedicated the fountain. The volunteers also landscaped the area and planted a new pollinator garden area creating a welcoming outdoor learning space for students and the community.

The LaBelle Educational garden is a living classroom, which provides the community with free food such as yuca, star fruit avocado, maranga, edible flowers, knowledge about planting foods in their homes and the educational component that comes with it.  

Now in its 18th year, FPL’s Power to Care program reinforces the company’s long-standing commitment to powering strong communities making Florida an even better place to live, work and raise a family.
