The E.E.E.C. has organized a collection of books on Florida gardening available at the Holmes Beach Library in the reference area. The collection includes information on such items as drought resistant plants, tropical landscape appropriate to our environment and the local habitats, and xeriscaping. One goal of the E.E.E.C. is to educate our residents regarding landscape choices that conserve and protect from runoff our precious water supply. Please take advantage of these resources made available to you by the City of Anna Maria and spread the word.
