Here is a picture of the new landscaping on the circle @ SGB! Be sure to see it in person, next time you are there. Kudo's to Sharon for spearheading this project, to Mike for planting the trees and removing the seagrapes, and to Sally for her creativity, design, watering, maintaining and choosing the smaller plants. The center piece is a hybrid developed & grafted here on Pine Island called a Pink Cassia. At full growth is has a height of 30-50'. It has a lovely canopy and large pink flowers in the spring bloom w/ a secondary bloom in the fall. The 3 other trees are Yellow Cassia, which have a more delicate yellow bloom and reach 10-12' in full height. There are several native FL plants that are drought tolerant and attract butterflies, as well as ground orchids, bromeliads, frangipani, desert rose, dwarf bougainville and lots of plants donated from neighbor's yards. The white pathways are the original shell ground cover, raked into a pattern.
