Florida bank working on organic-only grounds program



June 30

BankAtlantic in Florida is working on an organic-only grounds maintenance program at 31 of its 100 branches in Broward County and Palm Beach as part of a sustainability campaign.

Composter Converted Organics and Integrated Turf Care are supporting the landscaping effort.

ITC recently began using Converted Organics’ organic fertilizers to develop environmentally friendly options for its customers. The composter’s 8-1-4 Lawn & Turf fertilizer will be used on the lawns of BankAtlantic.

"We were looking for a high-quality product that would perform well for customers, while aiding the critical environmental issues currently facing South Florida, such as water quality and conservation," said Greg Needham of ITC. "We´re excited to work with Converted Organics to augment BankAtlantic´s efforts to facilitate environmental stewardship for the community, as we work together to achieve our common goal of promoting the preservation of our natural resources."
