Land Management

Lawn Care & Land Management. A few years ago a rent increase was tied to lawn care. Hows that going? Below is a form if you would like to put in your opion on how our land should be managed. Each tree and shrub that gets removed impacts air quality and is something we should all be aware of and have a say in.

Adding 15% more trees, shrubs and wildflowers could reduce park air temps by 10 degrees. This isn't about saving the planet, its about lowering your electric bill and being able to sit outside again. Helping save the planet is a bonus.

Native Plants

Sunshine Mimosa

A flowering groundcover that feeds pollinators and survives foot traffic better than turf. No mowing required.

Dune Sunflower

Beach sunflower is a butterfly-attracting Florida native that’s perfect for hot, dry sites, including coastal areas. Many gardeners like to use it as a colorful and drought-resistant groundcover.

Coontie
Coontie is perfect for a dry sunny spot in the yard. Extremely hardy and drought tolerant. It generally stays under three feet tall and 3 feet wide. Coontie is an ancient plant and is the important host plant for the Atala butterfly.

Live Oak
The "dwarf live oak" typically refers to Quercus minima, a shrubby oak species native to the southeastern United States. It is characterized by its smaller size, typically reaching only 3 to 6 feet in height, and its ability to form dense colonies. Unlike the larger, more familiar live oak trees, Quercus minima is a shrubby species that spreads through rhizomes and seeds

Simpson Stopper
Simpson’s stopper (Myrcianthes fragrans) is a Florida native that provides your landscape with springtime flowering, colorful berries, and evergreen leaves. Not only does it look great, this plant is versatile; it can function as a shrub or a small tree depending on the cultivar and how you prune it.
