Do you know the best part of all the rain we have been getting? The Naturally Kiawah Garden is well watered!
Plant installation in the Naturally Kiawah Garden, a joint project with Kiawah Island Golf Resort and Kiawah Conservancy, is complete. So, Run, walk or bike out to Night Heron Park today and see how the Kiawah Conservancy is growing.
Funded by an anonymous grant and donors to the Kiawah Conservancy, the Naturally Kiawah Garden project has garnered Island-wide support. The Garden showcases native plants and plants that respond well to the diverse conditions of Kiawah Island’s environs and will be used as a learning opportunity for property owners and guests alike.
Trident Technical College’s Landscape Design program offered students an initial garden design contest, and department head, Professor Tony Bertauski, implemented the design contest as a summer project for his design class. Landscape Architect, Bill Maneri, served as the students mentor throughout the process and used the winning designs as an inspiration for the final garden plans.
To learn more about native and habitat friendly plantings in your own landscape and the science behind the Naturally Kiawah Garden project, contact Justin Core, Kiawah Conservancy’s Land Preservation Coordinator, at 768-2029 or justin.core@kiawahconservancy.org.
