Butterflies in the Garden
A past project created signage about the native species of butterflies at the Garden. A group produced updated signs for the butterflies in the garden.
Invasive Exotics
Like much of Florida, the Florida Keys has an enormous problem dealing with invasive exotic plants. Invasives were identified and appropriate treatment plans were determined. In addition a brochure was compiled on invasive species.

Accessioning of Plants in the Garden
An integral part of any professionally run botanical garden is a plant records database. This database should not only track every species that occurs in a garden but also individual specimens. Herbaceous species may be tracked as a group, or in some cases, each individual may also be tracked. A project was undertaken to catalog all of the plants in the garden.
Website
An updated website for the garden was also produced.2007 Group Picture
