Please join us for an "Update on What's Happening in Sarasota > County Parks". Our guest speaker is Chris Meyer from the county's Natural > Resources division, who has developed and managed several of Sarasota > County's nature parks. These include the Joseph Property in Englewood, Myakka > Islands Point in Port Charlotte and the most recently opened Scherer Thaxton > Preserve, a 287-acre parcel with a 5-acre lake in Nokomis. Chris is well > versed on the flora and fauna of these parks and will give us insight as to > the status of the parks he is currently managing. For more information on > Sarasota County Parks, go to scgov.net. > > "Plant Native" Day, March 14, 9:30 AM-1:00 PM, Cedar Point Environmental > Park, 2300 Placida Rd, Englewood, FL. The theme of this year's event is "How > to Create a Rain Garden". Please print out the event flyer featured elsewhere > in this newsletter for details and to share with friends, neighbors and > posting at local businesses. PND details are also posted on our website. I > will email the membership with a sign-up list for helpers for the event > (set-up, parking, greeters, hospitality, take-down). Also, we need your > home-grown natives, so please pot up what you can and drop them off at Cedar > Point Park: Monday AM (9th) while we are working in the garden(9 to 11 AM), > Friday afternoon (13th) while we are setting up (2 to 4 PM), or early the > morning of the event. > Next Field Trip: March 28, 9:00 AM, Scherer-Thaxton Environmental Park, 13125 > Honore Ave. Nokomis. Scherer-Thaxton Preserve is one of Sarasota's newest > parks. It consists of 287 acres of pine flatwoods, depressional wetlands, > and mesic hammocks. The park is adjacent to and on the east side of Oscar > Scherer State Park. Birds of interest may include scrub jays and > swallow-tail kites. Since this is a new park, we may be surprised at what > plants will be seen. > DIRECTIONS: From the south, take US41N to MacIntosh Rd, Turn right onto > Central Sarasota Pkwy, turn right onto Honore Ave, go south until the > entrance to the park is reached on the right. FURTHER INFORMATION: Call > Denny Girard at 941-474-1492, or email him at dennyg29@xxxxxxx. > > Yard Tours: March 15, 9 AM, kayakers in our group can visit Bill and Margaret > Dunson's yard on Manasota Key, with an unusual twist. You will reach their > yard by kayaking from Middle Beach (5.5 miles round trip) led by Charlie > Woodruff and land at their dock/beach. In addition to their yard which has > been managed for wildlife for 20 years, the Dunson's have a newly purchased > lot next door which is being actively planted after removal of a trailer. > There are more than 150 species of plants (about half native) which are > primarily chosen for winter/spring blooms attractive to butterflies and > birds, fruit, cover and larval caterpillar food. This is sponsored by Sierra > Club and reservations are required. Call 276-233-6364 or email > wdunson@xxxxxxxxxxx. > > March 25, 9:30 AM, we will visit Kathleen Rohrer's natural garden on Boca > Grande, a quarter acre with a mix of planned natives and native volunteers, > Florida-friendly's and some non-invasive exotics. From there we head to Elsie > Bracken's place, a small early 1900's bungalow with a nice garden filled with > lots of orchids. Last stop is a small pocket park, Sam Murphy Park, planted > predominantly with a mix of Florida-friendly plants and some natives. There > is a large fountain and pool with lots of shade and some lawn areas. This > will serve to compare several types of gardens, illustrating different > approaches to utilizing the landscape. Afterward, folks can do lunch in the > village and visit the quaint shops. People who sign up for this trip will > receive detailed directions via email a week before the tour. Email > birderlois@xxxxxxxxxxx to sign up. > > Bobbi's Fishing Camp > As part of CHEC's summer camp series, two week-long fishing camps to teach > kids about safe and environmentally friendly fishing are being planned. If > you or anyone you know has any knowledge of fishing (knot-tying, cast > netting, rods and reels, tackle, anatomy, etc.), please contact Bobbie > Rodgers at the Cedar Point Environmental Center. 941-475-0769.

I can see it now-a photo on the cover of the Englewood Review-the > mad botanizers circling the native plant berm at the landing, muttering Latin > names and shaking our walking sticks. But, I digress. Once we boarded our > modes of transportation, we circled past the Fire House to look at the > natural area that has matured nicely in the 3 years since we last toured this > area. A past member, Sarah Fahlmark, who has since moved back to Illinois, > took great care of the lot while she was a resident. The entrance arch, built > from large pieces of driftwood, is still there.

We stopped in front of Tony Yacovetti's place. He owns > the Sandhill Grower's Nursery in Arcadia and talked about the many varieties > of plants that were used to fill his landscape. He acquired a lot of his > plants through bartering with other growers, buying up what was left of > someone's booth after a plant workshop and is also trying out some plants > that are not necessarily native to the area. A variety of trees, understory > shrubs, grasses and wildflowers were observed and discussed in the 45 minutes > or so that we spent, including looking at the septic-leach field, which was > overplanted with a variety of ground covers. Pine straw was used as mulch > throughout the planted areas. > > Kjell Plotkin led our entourage to an area that was being prepared for > building a gopher tortoise habitat, starting with the addition of a large > berm as a foundation for planting native vegetation that they like to eat. > They add or utilize any existing fixed object, like a large rock, tree stump, > pilings, etc. for the tortoises to dig their burrows against. They often get > their sand from construction crews who are building a new home or digging out > an area for a pool. The berms become landscape elements, keeping the forage > handy for the tortoise inhabitants. > > Bill and Margaret Dunson had met us on their bikes, so they took us by their > lot on Kettle Harbor, which is on high ground and had been overgrown with > Brazilian pepper. They have a boardwalk and dock, which brought us out to the > harbor for a view of the water. While walking around the lot, Bill challenged > us to figure out which of the plants that we were in the process of > identifying might have arisen from the soil being disturbed as opposed to > growing there naturally. He pointed out how the left versus the right sides > of the lot had varied vegetation, and speculated on how it grew up that way. > > Mike Riley met us at his home site where we advanced to his back yard to view > a mature gopher tortoise habitat that he had created after removing a 30-foot > coconut palm, saving the stump as a starting point. The surrounding berm was > about 50 feet in circumference. Several wooden beams and some driven pilings > added to the mix. From there the garden took on a life of its own as coco > plum, gaillardia, beach dune sunflower, railroad vine, chalky bluestem, muhly > grass, love grass and perennial peanut were added. Various yard ornaments > give it a finished look. A small gopher tortoise took up residence within > just a few weeks of construction, it was well worth the effort. > Our final destination was the Horswill residence.

The scarcity of nutrients also favors > plants that are carnivorous and can derive essential metabolites from animal > flesh. Three species of such remarkable carnivores (remember the movie > "Little Shop of Horrors" ) in bloom were the Yellow Butterwort, the Horned > Bladderwort and the Sundew.
