On May 29, the Seabrook Island Green Space Conservancy joined with the Kiawah Conservancy to sponsor a hands-on native plant workshop at the Seabrook Island Club’s Ocean Winds Golf Course. Zachary Snipes, Horticulture Agent for the Beaufort and Charleston County Cooperative Extension Offices, talked about best practices for installing and maintaining native plant landscapes and then the planting began!
An enthusiastic group got to work planting a permanent “back dune” native plant garden designed by Surculus Design that stabilizes soils and nourishes wildlife. The garden is one featured under “Landscape Design Templates” in the Native Plant Guide for Kiawah, Seabrook and Johns Islands. The Guide focuses on plants and designs tailored to thrive in the Lowcountry’s unique coastal conditions and with a low susceptibility to deer disturbance. Learn more about the Kiawah Conservancy.
