WYLDEWOOD
Going north with cooler weather in April and May is interesting in relation to the heat buildup in the south. What is better or worse? Every individual will respond differently.
In the last issue, I wrote that the Landscaping Committee recommendations were approved by the board. In early April, the first phase of the project started with removal of bushes in front of each of our four buildings. In addition, a new landscaping design was installed around our north sign. These changes opened and refreshed how the frontage of our buildings look and are in keeping with modern landscaping designs. Where bushes were removed, sod was laid and growing well. The second phase, which will include replacement and installation of new bushes and trees, is not yet decided.
Many of our bushes were old and needed replacement; however, another issue which needed attention was to review Wyldewood’s documents for updates. Over the summer, a committee will review proposed amendments and updates and report its recommendations to the board.
Now June has arrived, residents who traveled back “home” are settling in for a comfortable summer with family and friends. The hope is that the spring stormy weather will subside, and bright and sunny skies will prevail, without the Florida heat and humidity. It is also hoped that when residents return to Florida next season, hurricanes will not be a subject matter.
