Hope everyone had a great easter. I decided to go across to Margarita from some r&r. I was worried about the water situation especially as it is a very dry island. However we had nothing to worry about at the hotel we were in. I noticed a few things at the hotel that I thought I would share with you.
- Use of native plants. Despite the allure of more exotic plant life, the hotel used native plants, so despite the dry weather, many of the plants were actually blooming
- Recycled water was used for watering the plants
- In between plants, at times, there was no grass, just soil. This makes maintenance easier.
- The presence of lots of trees provided a lot of shade in places, thus making the place cooler
On another note, there seemed to be a lot of pride taken in the maintenance of little villages. Houses and churches were painted, the roads were clean and there were maintained plants everywhere.
Just a few pointers for us to take and learn from
