Discovery Place is a huge property that spans over ten acres. It requires attention to detail and a strong sense of time management for the gardener that maintains the property forty hours per week. This skilled gardener cares for 50 flowering beds, 26 planters and 4 hanging baskets! The annual flowers are carefully designed and selected by our Head Gardener each year and are planted by our groundskeeping crew of over 20 people. It is truly a group effort by the Facility Care team!
The gardener, along with a weekly visit from a three person turf care crew, ensure details are not forgotten and the residents are happy. Over the years, the team has completed several renovations, big and small, to help keep the property looking its best.
The property also invests in fiesta weed control applications which keeps the turf healthy and weed-free. The amount of work that goes into maintaining a property of this size really cannot be underestimated. When you are on the property, residents feel as though they are truly in a special place or a vacation resort!
