Island Gardens

The salt air can be a challenge for home owners who want a colorful seaside garden.  Yet there are numerous blocks in town with beautiful lawns, colorful trees, and flowers. 

Green thumb owners create peer pressure within a neighborhood.  The plain stone yard with minimal landscaping previously represented the typical shore house.  On some blocks, that property now looks out of place.

Related observation:  Have you noticed how many landscape vehicles are on the island each week?  Obviously, most owners do NOT have a green thumb 😉
