Water Matters distributions require residents to register and choose their free plants from eligible trees, plants & shrubs online.
The event focuses on eco-friendly & Florida-friendly landscaping, which includes foliage that requires less extra watering.
“Attractive yards that require less water don’t have to look like a desert; they can be beautiful throughout our seasons if we use the water-wise, Florida-Friendly approach to landscaping,” according to NatureScape Broward, which organizes tree distribution events.
Information, including list of eligible trees & plants, is online.
