End of Year Plans

Hi everyone. I have not heard from anyone in over 6 months! I haven't been blogging very much either. Wanted to let you know what is going on a little bit before the end of the year. We finally cleaned up the front entrance island. If you are thinking it still needs something - it does. We wanted to create a clean pallet. We're planning on putting a fountain in the middle, and are in the process of obtaining ideas and quotes. There will also be additional shrubs, but we need to decide on the fountain first.

We're also working on facelifts for Egret Ridge and Raven's Rook, and developing a design for the Lift Station @ Perigrine Point, West, and a plan to add some trees to the communities open tracts of land. We're still working on Alafaya Utilities to provide water to the other Lift Station. So folks out there - - we have not forgotten you.

By the way, we are interested in how the community feels about the use of annuals in the community. Do we need them? Do we like them? What are your thoughts?

Heirloom Rose Place Circle Island Approved Design

Tree is a diamond cut Sylvester Date Palm with 5 feet of wood. Tree surround is dwarf purple and white Angelonia (a perennial said to flower 6-7 mo. of the year). Total price is $2250.00, which included 125 asiatic jasmine plants which the committee decided against - in favor of angelonia (less expensive). We may be adding an addition permanent hedge around the bottom of the tree to better anchor it. Tree cost is $1500.00 and will currently be purchased from Black Hammock Nurseries.

It is always an on-going endeavor to get the most we possibly can from the money we pay. We continue to negotiate and re-negotiate until it is planted, and I will keep you posted of any changes.
