Landscape Bank:KACB's past president and resident Master Gardener, Florence Cline, maintains our Landscape Bank. We are able to secure bedding plants, trees and shrubs from local nurseries and from the UF Horticulture Club for use in beautification projects. The plants are stored, nurtured and readied for distribution to neighborhoods, schools and community sites. Keep Alachua County Beautiful Landscape Bank is a service that has been provided to the Alachua County community for five years. After every selling season, KACB collects unsold shrubs, trees and flowers from plant nurseries around the county, which would otherwise be burned or thrown away. These plants are nurtured at the KACB Landscape Bank until a community group requests them. The Landscape Bank contains a variety of plants that in the past have included: River Birch Magnolia-Cocoa
Magnolia-Sweet Bay Cypress Water Tupelo Houston Holly Holly Maple Live Oak Shumard Oak Willow Keep Alachua County Beautiful is happy to give these plants to community organizations in need, depending on availability. If your group is interested in receiving plants from the KACB Landscape Bank, please follow the link below and fill out a request form. Once completed, please send the request form to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it |
Next project
The final scan for our Cigarette Litter Prevention Program has been completed. Watch for results at the end of September! We will be at the Alachua County Fairgrounds on Labor Day Weekend to promote recycling at The Big and Hearty Music and Arts Festival. Thanks to WASTE PRO for helping us in this effort! A portion of Big and Hearty's proceeds will be donated to Gulf Specimen Laboratories' NOAH'S ARC Project to assist in rehabilitating wildlife in the Gulf of Mexico. |
