Marina D'Abreau, from the Hillsborough County Extension Service, skillfully guided 35 households or more through their rain barrel lesson today. The 55 gallon drums, when installed, will saves thousands of gallons of water use in the park, and hopefully lower our exorbitant water bill. The concerned citizens who are taking part in this voluntary program should be commended for their efforts. Next time you see a working rain barrel here in Regency Cove, stop and tell the homeowner, "Thanks for caring!"
Also on our grounds today was Lisa Strange, a Master Gardner and Community Association Outreach Coordinator, also from the Extension service. Lisa evaluated 8-10 homes and lawns, and met with a few homeowners to discuss their landscaping concerns. She studied and photographed the Blvd. 7 median strip, and will hopefully give us some ideas to beautify that barren landscaping. She will complete a written evaluation for the park., and we look forward to her recommendations. We will keep you apprised of the results.
