Landscaping |
When we bought our house in August of 2003, landscaping was rather minimal. With the help of landscape architect Marshall Whidden and local nursery Wirt's Point, we designed landscaping that is attractive and environmentally friendly. While we are still working on the project in stages, here are some pictures to show how far we've come. Our landscape has been certified by the Florida Agricultural Extension Service as ecologically friendly and by the National Wildlife Federation as a balanced wildlife habitat. |
When we moved in, this was the landscaping. |
