Fall 2017 Planting Project Approved

At the October Board Meeting, the Board approved the Fall 2017 Planting Project.  Trees and plants, selected from a limited palette, will be planted from the curb to utility closets throughout the south side of Brittany Landing Bay. This includes Riddell, Parfait, Damon and the South Side of Oak Park. There will also be four trees added to the pool area and one tree replacement on the North Side. The November 2017 planting includes 27 trees and 250 plants!!  

The Committee has worked with Cagwin & Dorward, our landscape company, and the BLB Board to develop a strategy that incorporates the following elements:
·         Focusing on unified design elements to promote a cohesive visual appearance.
·         Developing a limited tree and plant palette to guide the plant selection process.
·         Planting in the area that is visible from the street this year.
·         Providing wide coverage to improve landscaping for as many people as possible.
·         Planting only during fall/winter months to take advantage of the rainy season to help establish the plants.
·         Replacing removed trees
·         Alternating between north and south sides of the association.
