Rotary Club of Coral Springs donates $112,250

The Coral Springs Community Garden will soon receive a new facility thanks to a $122,250 donation from the Rotary Club of Coral Springs that was presented at a recent City Commission Meeting.

The funds, provided in conjunction with P&H Interiors and the Levitetz Family Foundation, will be used to construct a new on-site pavilion at the garden that can be used for shade, picnics, gatherings, and more.

Don’t Blow It! Keep yard waste out of storm drains

When it comes to water quality, grass clippings and lawn waste are considered stormwater pollutants that can cause harm to natural bodies of water when swept into a storm drain.

REMEMBER!

Coral Springs Ordinance 250835 B (4) prohibits blowing, sweeping, or dumping grass clippings and yard waste onto streets, ditches, driveways, or storm drains. Always blow away from roads, ditches, gutters, and areas of runoff, then return grass clippings to the lawn or bag them along with other yard waste for proper disposal.

In addition to the donation, the Rotary Club has been working with city staff on future upkeep, maintenance, and improvements, including support for ongoing development, fence installation, clean drinking water, greater accessibility and more.
