Anna Maria Islander reports an interesting story about how an advisory committee in Bradenton Beach is asking the city commission to adopt a policy for using Florida-friendly native plants in future municipal projects.
The request, approved by a unanimous voice vote of the ScenicWAVES Committee on November 17, also asks the commission to approve a policy that would encourage Florida-Friendly plantings in private projects.
Earlier this year, members of the committee toured the grounds at Anna Maria City Hall, where they were impressed with the native plants used.
Several committee members said they were less impressed with recent Bradenton Beach landscaping projects that used non-native, non-drought tolerant plants.
The committee acted on the request as the public works department is preparing to improve landscaping on Bridge Street, one of the city’s two main business corridors.
