When planning a landscape in Venice Florida water thirsty turf is out. Sure its a nice accent in small areas, just make sure that the turf is easily accessable by mowers, will not need string trimmers to manicure, String trimmers promote scalping which in turn causes problems. Make sure that all plant material has some salt tolerance, all wells in Venice are experiencing salt water intrusion, and the problem will only get worse. When planning your landscape in Venice take a look at native plants such as Coontie Palm, Dwarf palmetto Sabal minor, Buccaneer Palm, and many other palms and plants that will live with no irrigation after establishing in thier new environment.
