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.Â
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 😉
Wings ‘n Water Festival
The island is active with home owners and visitors. The Wetlands Institute has a full weekend of events planned : http://wetlandsinstitute.org/
 If you are house hunting, stop by 222 104th Street, Stone Harbor. Charming old seashore restored with quality amenities.
