Sarasota Bay Estuary Program has supported the project with Bay Partners Grants in
2010 and 2011. SBEP also provided technical assistance along with Michelle
Atkinson with the Florida Yards and Neighborhood Program and Jim Derwenko, a
green-certified landscaper. The key contact person at Sunbow Bay
is Denise Elliott and you can reach Ms. Elliott at dndelliott@gmail.com. Denise has
provided timely leadership in making Bay-friendly landscaping a priority at Sunbow Bay.
The public is invited to the open house and a local Girl Scout Troop from Bradenton will be on hand to sell water and lemonade to raise funds for a future camping trip. The Girl Scouts will also be visiting Sunbow Bay March 10 to do some volunteer work in the garden while learning more about Bay-friendly landscaping
