float on














we spent last week up in o-town for the landscape show. i found some great new things that i will share in a series of blogs this week. first thing's first: Beemats.

these interlocking 'mats' are designed to hold aquatic plants in perforated pots- and float at the surface of a body of water. aquatic plants produce oxygen, absorb pesticides from the water, and hinder the growth of harmful algae. these patented floating plant mats are puzzle cut mats held together by nylon connectors that can be assembled in any size or shape. i personally love the concept of creating interesting geometrical designs...intersecting lines and isles across a natural or man-made pond.

beemats are minimalist floating islands of lush and lovely greens that provide habitats for wildlife. what could be better than that?

i am going to contact FDOT to see if i can turn them onto these. they are too good to not be used!
