Sarasota Pollinator Garden

Cottage inspired design with colorful native and Florida-friendly plantings for butterflies and birds, this palette of plants features seasonal large pops of color achieved with the help of native vines, grasses and low growing flowers. I returned for a 2nd Phase where I removed some more of the lawn and created a few “islands” of small native trees with simple native and Florida-friendly understory.
