    This document discusses landscape plant selections for a beach resort. It describes using palm trees like royal palm and sabal palmetto because they provide shade, minimize wind, and have a tropical feel. Royal palm grows very tall and is well-suited to open spaces. Sabal palmetto supports more biodiversity than isolated landscaped trees. Blue fescue grass and boxwood topiaries are also suggested for their visual appeal and ability to provide texture and boundaries around the pool area. Perspective images of the proposed landscape design are included.

    • Plants are very crucial in

    designing not only it


    provides beauty and aesthetic
    is also provides functions in
    this presentation I will provide
    the names and species that I
    picked in designing the
    landscape for the given beach
    resort plan
    • When we talk about designing beach resorts we often
    see and use Palm trees but why?

    It’s because it blends with the them of a Tropical feeling,


    and it provides a large shade to minimize heat from the
    sunlight and trees also function as minimizing wind
    break to our resorts.
    Royal Palm
    - The Royal Palm is native from Hispanola through
    the Virgin Islands, but has
    been planted throughout the tropics for its beauty
    and versatility. Reaching over
    20 m at maturity, it is the tallest and fastest
    growing of the Virgin Islands three
    native palms. This plant was once quite common,
    but today is found mostly in
    isolated patches in guts. Although somewhat
    drought tolerant, the royal palm is
    one of our more water-loving trees and can
    withstand occasional flooding. In
    the landscape it is most frequently planted in
    rows, giving the appearance of
    formal columns. Its great height makes it more
    suited to open spaces. Old
    leaves can reach 4 m in length and require
    occasional disposal.
    Sabal Palmetto
    - Sabal palmetto (cabbage palm) is a native palm species
    used commonly in urban landscaping throughout Florida.
    In addition to its aesthetic appeal and high tolerance to
    the variable environmental conditions found in Florida,
    the use of cabbage palms in landscaping should be
    expected to promote urban wildlife because the tree
    provides food and nesting sites for various organisms,
    including arthropods. In this study, we compared
    arthropod number, abundance, and biodiversity in
    cabbage palms between natural and landscaped
    environments. Trees in natural environments supported
    more individuals and greater species richness than trees in
    landscaped environments. Environmental factors, such as
    human activity and depauperate botanical communities,
    might explain why landscaped cabbage palms supported
    fewer arthropods. This suggests that landscaping with
    isolated native trees, such as the cabbage palms in this
    study, in an otherwise lawn-manicured environment might
    have adverse effects on biodiversity as predicted by island
    biogeography. Natural and landscaped palms supported a
    similar diversity of transient arthropods, which were
    primarily involved either directly or indirectly with
    pollination. Transient arthropods were found flying
    around cabbage palms, which might explain the ability of
    the arthropods to use landscaped trees. Increased use of
    native species such as S. palmetto in urban landscapes
    should have a positive effect on urban wildlife that can
    disperse broadly, such as flying arthropods and birds.
    Blue Fescue

    A seaside garden isn’t complete


    without some soft grass texture to
    blow in the breeze. This evergreen is
    happy in containers, rockeries and
    can add texture to flowerbeds.
    When clumps are planted separately
    among gravel and pebbles, it can
    have a really striking impact.
    Boxwood Topiary

    • Boxwoods were added to help


    decorate the platforms near the
    swimming pool and also help
    creating a imaginary boundary for
    access and passage for people who
    is going to be staying on the
    platform.
