Want to Attract Birds and Butterflies to your Property?

The City of Sanibel Vegetation Committee is offering guided native vegetation and landscaping tours of City Hall grounds, planted exclusively with native plants.

Bald Eagle
(Haliaeetus leucocephalus)

The next tour of City Hall grounds is on:

Wednesday, January 12, 2022

The guided tours begin promptly at 10:00 a.m. at the bottom of the City Hall main staircase.

If you are unable to attend on Wednesday, January 12, 2022, the next upcoming tour dates are:

Saturday, January 22, 2022
Wednesday, February 9, 2022 and Saturday, February 26, 2022
Wednesday, March 9, 2022 and Saturday, March 26, 2022
Wednesday, April 13, 2022 and Saturday, April 23, 2022

Come walk the grounds for ideas on planting native vegetation that requires no fertilizer. Come see how you can plant a garden that reseeds itself with very little maintenance, is good for the environment and will attract birds and butterflies.

Vegetation Committee members will provide valuable information on proper planting and care of native vegetation.  The City of Sanibel encourages planting of vegetation that is indigenous to the area as it requires very little maintenance, NO fertilizer, and NO supplemental irrigation.

Registration is not required. Attendees meet at the main entrance to City Hall, 800 Dunlop Road, in front of the main staircase. For additional information regarding the guided native vegetation tour, please contact the City’s Natural Resources Department at [email protected] or by phone at (239) 472-3700.
