The city of Sanibel will host a free, guided community rain garden tour on Nov. 22 at 10 a.m. at City Hall, at 800 Dunlop Road, Sanibel. It will be led by the University of Florida’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) Master Gardener volunteers. A collaborative effort between the city and UF/IFAS volunteers, the recently planted rain gardens represent a step in the city’s ongoing commitment to sustainable landscaping and environmental protection. The project was made possible by a grant from the Florida Wildflower Foundation, with the plants procured from the Sanibel-Conservation Foundation’s Garden Center. Registration is not required; meet at the main entrance. For more information, contact the Ask the Master Gardeners Help Desk at fynlee@ifas.ufl.edu.
