Naples, Florida -March 2010 - On March 23, new accommodations
will be installed at Lemon Tree Inn of Naples, Florida. Hunter Reno, who
installs organic gardens at private homes and schools and is a guest lecturer
at Fairchild Tropical Gardens in Miami, will install a butterfly garden at
Lemon Tree Inn. The butterfly garden is part of the boutique hotel's
Pollination Package, conceived after the recent reopening of the Naples
Botanical Garden.
The Pollination Package includes three nights at the hotel
including taxes, two tickets to Naples Botanical Garden, a guide on how to
build your own pollinator garden, and a packet of flower seeds to help get the
garden started. The Pollination Package is $399 now thru April 15, and $259 from April 15,
until December 14, 2010. Rates are based on two people (double occupancy) for
the three-night stay. Additional nights are available at an additional charge.
"One of the best surprises about
Lemon Tree Inn is our garden which has lemon trees, tropical flowering bushes
and a variety of palms," says Sid Kalmans, owner of Lemon Tree Inn, a charming
tropical hotel in the heart of Old Naples, Florida. "The Pollination Package allows
them to explore and learn about gardens and pollinators, all while enjoying a
relaxing vacation."
The courtyard garden at Lemon Tree
Inn is designed to attract pollinators, including butterflies and hummingbirds,
which in turn pollinate plants and trees all over Naples. By reducing its
pesticide use and using more organic alternatives, Lemon Tree Inn has also
taken steps to protect pollinators. During Pollinator Week, which is in June
21-27, 2010, Lemon
Tree Inn will release butterflies and ladybugs to further encourage pollination
and eco-friendly plant care. Butterflies are among the top pollinators and
ladybugs are ravenous eaters of aphids, mites and other pests that damage
plants.
