SANIBEL-CAPTIVA CONSERVATION FOUNDATION
About 20 staff from the Naples Botanical Garden recently assisted the Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation over two weeks in the continued recovery of the Native Landscapes & Garden Center on Sanibel. A previous SCCF intern, Associate Director of Horticulture Elizabeth Beans and her staff brought special equipment to remove debris and dead plants in the demonstration gardens and Shipley trail. It included an extendable chainsaw to cut limbs up high, as well as a landscaping dump truck to bring debris piles to the roadside. The SCCF and Naples Botanical Garden are also collaborating to provide thought leadership around best planting practices for Lee and Collier counties.
