Home & Garden: Truly Spectacular

The next time you travel toward the south end of Siesta Key on Midnight Pass Road, you will not be able to miss the new real-estate office, Key Solutions Real Estate Group. Not only does the office include natural waterfalls, lagoons and ponds but also brick pathways and sitting areas underneath canopy oak trees with a rainforest atmosphere.

Driving by my first time, I watched Lucas Lagoons finish the waterfalls in front of the building. When clients get out of their car on the brick circular driveway, they walk over a rock bridge to get to the front door.

The overall plant design and selection was done by Erez Back, with Sarasota Secret Gardens, who brought in the tropical plants to go with the landscaping and pathways around the property. Because the gardens are mainly shaded, Back picked the appropriate plants that could thrive in shady conditions.
