Venice Area Beautification Inc is a 31 year old non profit organization composed of several volunteer supported committees or teams.
The Bloom Team are those lime green volunteers you see weeding and planting in downtown Venice via pots, hanging baskets, and dry fountains with flowers in them.
The Keep Venice Beautiful Team (KVB) are the bright yellow shirted volunteers who clear debris, weed and also plant but mostly in the public beach access areas and numerous public parks throughout the Venice area.

Urban Foresters wear light aqua work shirts and are installing a 1.75 mile long urban forest along the east bank of the Intracoastal Waterway south of the Historic Train Depot.
Volunteers working in the Monty Andrews Arboretum are called the Monty Andrews Arboretum Crew (MAAC). They wear orange work shirts and often are seen weeding and trimming the trees in West Blalock Park.
Last but not least is our Public Art Committee which funds many of the beautiful murals that adorn our downtown walls and elsewhere.

VABI’s vision is to help “build community” in the Greater Venice area. Planning is focused on timeless projects that offer all residents and visitors a beautiful place to live, work and play, including downtown, with flowers, pots and flower fountains; safe places to walk such as the Venetian Waterway Park, a place to discover and enjoy the enchantment of nature at Venice Urban Forest; and the opportunity to connect to neighborhoods and parks, and experience outdoor art and sculpture.
