The Florida Yards and Neighborhoods Program is a joint effort between the State of Florida, Florida Department of
Environmental Protection, Florida Water Management Districts, and the University of Florida’s IFAS Extension Services.
This educational program provides resources for understanding the needs of a Florida yard, an interactive yard and plant database, and a toolkit for professionals. The Florida Yards and Neighborhoods Program has coordinators in every county.
Coordinators assist builders and developers, landscape architects, and local governments with the implementation of Florida-friendly landscaping. The Florida Yards and Neighborhoods Program also educates Homeowners and other community members about the techniques and benefits of Florida-Friendly Landscaping with the help of nine key principles.
