| Our constructed wetlands are designed as an educational forum to foster
a public appreciation of wetland areas and to teach homeowners the importance of storm
water runoff management. Consisting of attractively landscaped wetlands, a simulated
lake front yard and a 60 seat teaching amphitheater, the Wetlands Garden serves as an
example of how we as educated citizens can learn to properly treat surface runoff from
residential properties. This will help protect Florida's fragile wetlands
environment.
