Think you can’t support butterflies and birds while still meeting Homeowner Association (HOA) guidelines? Think again. Tenille Dixon-Pawlus will teach you how to design a beautiful, HOA-compliant landscape that also supports Florida’s native pollinators and wildlife. We’ll explore how thoughtful plant choices, layout, and maintenance can create gardens that look polished and intentional — while quietly giving back to the ecosystem. Design with purpose. Plant with impact. Create a garden that gives back.

Environmental Cleaning, Odor Removal + Water Damage Services

Sarasota Flood

You cleaned, aired it out, maybe even painted… but something still lingers. That smell isn’t random. It’s coming from inside your home. Most homes look clean. Very few are environmentally reset. Air systems, materials, and surfaces carry years of living — moisture, odor, and microscopic buildup that standard cleaning doesn’t remove. Most homes aren’t clean… they’re just covered up. At Sarasota Flood, we identify and stabilize the source — not mask symptoms. Our process focuses on what’s actually happening inside the property, then applying targeted treatment to restore the environment properly. We work with homeowners, realtors, and property professionals who want clarity, not guesswork. Because a home shouldn’t just look clean… it should feel right the moment you walk in.
