City committee to offer free guided plant walk
The city of Sanibel’s Vegetation Committee will offer a guided native vegetation and landscaping tour on Jan. 27 at 9 a.m. of the City Hall grounds, which is planted exclusively with native plants.
Although the FNPS award-winning Native Plant Demonstration Garden sustained a great deal of damage during Hurricane Ian, new wildflowers sprout every day.
Walk the grounds for ideas on planting native vegetation that requires no fertilizer. See how to plant a garden that reseeds itself with very little maintenance, is good for the environment and will attract birds and butterflies.
Committee members will provide valuable information on proper planting and care of native vegetation. The city encourages planting of vegetation that is indigenous to the area as it requires very little maintenance, no fertilizer and no supplemental irrigation.
Registration is not required.
Meet at the bottom of the main staircase at City Hall, at 800 Dunlop Road, Sanibel.
