The residents first had a class on responsible water use and landscaping with plants that use less water with Michelle Atkinson, extension coordinator of Florida Friendly Program, as guest speaker.

Plants were provided by the South District Community Development District as part of the effort to manage water quality.

 The event was also sponsored by the Stoneybrook Homeowner Association Advisory Council, which is focusing on water usage management.
