TEAM Punta Gorda members know attractive landscaping when they see it; after all, they have spent much treasure and untold hours of labor on their own beautification projects around town. So it’s only natural they noticed a place like Consigning Woman, owned by Maria Schutt, when it was time for the Beautification Committee to pick a recipient of its second beautification award.
Schutt was given the award plaque Oct. 22, and TEAM couldn’t have made a better selection. Schutt has turned a formerly decrepit little Spanish mission-style house into one of the most attractive businesses in town.
