Garbage is collected twice weekly on Wednesday and Saturday and is required to be bagged up and placed at the side of the road ready for collection. It is advisable to put the bags out as early as possible (6 am, but not overnight).

There are two bird feeders in the garden and if you keep them filled with wild birdseed you will be rewarded with visits from some of Florida's beautiful bird life. There are also a few squirrels and their antics at trying to remove the feeder lids can prove as equally entertaining. It is advisable to wear shoes when walking around the garden as the ants are inclined to bite.
