Mediterranean Plants on Middle Bass Island

Taken Memorial Day Weekend

Arundo donax is a fast-growing perennial cane we have here at St. Hazards.

These pictures, taken by owner Ed, show just how fast Arundo donax grows. The first picture was taken Memorial Day Weekend and the second two weeks later.

Taken Two Weeks Later

Also referred to as Giant Cane, the Arundo donax is from the Mediterranean. It's one of the many tropical plants growing at St. Hazards throughout the summer.

The variety of tropical plants adds to the natural beauty of Middle Bass Island, and helps to create a unique island atmosphere you won't find anywhere else.

Giant Palm Trees on Middle Bass Island

The biggest, best and the most real live palm trees to have been shipped to any of the Lake Erie islands arrived on Middle Bass Island this past Saturday, June 5th.

The destination was St. Hazards Village on the Beach and what a beach it now is. Most of the largest trees were planted on the St. Hazards beach after their two day trip from Florida. Next to the palm trees is a pavilion that was built in Bali, Indonisia and then disassembled and shipped to St. Hazards.

Hazards pool also received a few of these trees, some of which are more than 20 ft. tall.

Here's before and after photos taken just two days apart.

More Big News about the beach coming very soon.

Middle Bass Island Tropical Garden

Our tropical garden is back. Almost 100 palm trees were brought in and our exotic greenery has been growing real fast. At Hazards we have added many new sea food and other tasty menu items for really good meals all day long. Our volleyball tournament two weeks ago was our largest ever and plans are underway for another one in August. Check out our web site entertainment schedule for more details.

We still have a few condos, villas, cabins and campsites for many of the summer weekends, so it's not too late to make your reservation.

The Fourth of July will be our biggest weekend of the summer and the Miller Boat Line has added extra service to the island to get everyone here. Call 800-837-5211 to make your reservation at St. Hazards.

We have had problems with our satellite internet connection over the past several weeks, so updates have been slow. The problem will be corrected this weekend and more news will be coming soon. Thanks for visiting our site.
