Floating islands planted with Vetiver, Louisiana Irises and one cypress tree

The purpose is to filter the water and help stop erosion of the land around Marsh Island. The irises will hopefully bloom in the springtime and give beautiful color in the lagoon.

Good job by those folks. Hope to see it in the future in full bloom.

Nice shot and explanation of these floating islands Coleen. Probably a good place for birds to perch on too.

Looks like a difficult and complicated project but it will be so worth it!
