The Children’s Education Center of the Islands (CECI) held a volunteer Gardening Day on Feb. 22 at its campus on Sanibel. Over 100 native plants were planted in the central butterfly garden and other garden spaces. The effort aimed to restore the campus following Hurricanes Helene and Milton. CECI expressed gratitude to the school families, volunteers and staff who offered their time and energy. It also extended a thank you to Rosen Vacation Rentals, which donated the majority of the plants, and the Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation’s Native Landscapes & Garden Center, which provided support and guidance.
