Covering all bases
Tailored for property managers, municipal workers and area contractors,
the symposium featured six vendor booths, property management speakers, utility
representatives and UF/IFAS experts.
 |
| Rose Bechard-Butman talks Florida Friendly Landscaping |
The topics covered ranged from Florida Friendly Landscaping, basic irrigation physics, water requirement standards,
smart irrigation and some product demonstrations.
 |
| Barbara Powell fields questions about Broward County's conservation initiatives |
 |
| Precision multi-streams: the Toro team sacrifices dryness for the cause |
 |
| High-volume be gone: Broward County's Robert Carew reps for low-flow |
The symposium was held at the Broward County Extension Office. This was my first time visiting this location. In fact, one of the unique aspects of the symposium is that it is the result of collaborative work among individuals in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties!
 |
| Jesus Lomeli and the Rain Bird rep discuss the finer points of rain sensing |
 |
| University of Florida luminaries Dr. Kati Migliaccio and Dr. Michael Dukes |
And if the subject matter is urban landscape irrigation
in South Florida, of course Miami-Dade’s Urban Conservation Unit was in
attendance!
 |
| Jesus Lomeli and Laura Vasquez: U.C.U. in pre-test mode |
Having prepared a teaser video to herald the event earlier in the
year, it was only fitting that we should roll cameras to document how
everything finally came to fruition. You can view the report-back video here or
below.
A regional hit!
As Dr. Migliaccio mentioned in a previous blog entry, interest in the symposium was so overwhelming that plans are
already in the works to mount another event in the fall. Stay tuned!
