| Abstract/Contents: | "The Florida Yards and Neighborhoods program promotes efficient and practical landscaping techniques for homeowners while encouraging the protection of Florida's natural environment. The program mission includes: 1) reducing stormwater pollution (including excess nutrients), 2) improving shoreline management, 3) conserving water and energy, and 4) providing wildlife and fisheries habitat. To date, three versions of the Florida Yards and Neighborhoods program serve the residents of Pinellas, Hillsborough, Manatee, Sarasota, and Charlotte counties. The "Florida Neighborhoods" program in Tampa Bay emphasizes group instruction through selected neighborhood associations. The "Florida Yards" program in Sarasota Bay works with individual homeowners throughout the bay region. The "Florida Yards and Neighborhoods" program in Charlotte county is an approach that combines both versions. The Sarasota Bay and Charlotte County programs utilize Cooperative Extension Service Master Gardeners as Florida Yard Advisors. The Florida Yards and Neighborhoods program will build environmental awareness, and then in conjunction with other elements of the Master Gardener program, will provide the information and advise necessary to make time- and money-saving adjustments to home landscape practices." |
