Mission: Enhance the viability of West Palm Beach as a model of a healthy, equitable, environmentally progressive, resilient, and ecologically sustainable community.

 

The City of West Palm Beach has been committed to sustainability targeting climate change for over a decade. We were one of the first cities in the State of Florida to have a dedicated office addressing climate change, sustainability and resiliency issues. The Office of Sustainability collaborates with various city agencies, nonprofit organizations, businesses and private citizens, among other partners, to enhance the viability of the municipality as a model of healthy, equitable, environmentally progressive, resilient and ecologically sustainable, urban living.  We are committed to continue to evolve to meet our City’s / region’s environmental challenges focused on exceeding our community’s expectations.

Ocean Friendly Gardens

  • Date: 09/25/2020 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM  
  • Introduction: Join us via Zoom!
Water runoff is the #1 source of ocean pollution in urban areas, contributing to flooding and wasting water that can irrigate landscapes and replenish groundwater. Ocean Friendly Gardens help protect local water supplies and keep pollution from entering the ocean. Join us and learn about the principles of an Ocean Friendly Garden: healthy, living soil; retain rainwater; climate-appropriate plants; efficient supplemental irrigation as needed.

This program is presented by the City of West Palm Beach Office of Sustainability and Surfrider Foundation - Palm Beach County Chapter.
