High tides and strong wind in October have caused quite a bit of beachfront erosion here in Hilton Head, and on Thursday the island experienced the highest tide of 2011 at a whopping nine feet high! If you have recently completed moving to Hilton Head, the recent news of beach land erosion may worry you a bit, but in actuality erosion is a normal part of being a barrier island. Just as sand moves away due to erosion, sand also gathers due to the natural ebb and flow of the elements. In other Hilton Head news, the area known as our island’s heel will soon undergo operations to replenish beach land. Roughly one million cubic yards of sand will be added to the beach as soon as this week; special equipment will be moved to the island’s heel soon so that work may begin. The project should be finished on or before February 15th, and will be very advantageous considering that erosion of the island’s heel causes 100 feet or so of sand to move away each year. Barrier island life sure is interesting, isn’t it?
 

The Avid Gardeners club of Hilton Head recently received two excellence awards from the National Garden Clubs Incorporated. The Avid Gardeners won first place in the “Pink Glove” category for the 2010 “Plant it Pink Garden,” which craftily utilizes pink planter pots along the borders of its Breast Cancer Awareness Ribbon design. The garden has been cared for by members of the Avid Gardeners and was funded in part by donations from various Hilton Head businesses. Your Hilton Head moving professionals here were so moved by the “Plant it Pink Garden” that we’ve considered starting up a garden of our own; perhaps your relocation specialists here will win another award for Hilton Head!

The second of the two awards was presented to the Avid Gardeners for the “Korosi Vegetable and Herb Education Garden,” which was put together as a way for children to get involved with the Avid Gardener’s club and also to promote healthy eating habits among Hilton Head kids. Way to go, Avid Gardeners! Your Hilton Head professional movers can’t wait to see what kind of garden creations you all come up with next!
