Florida Yards & Neighborhoods (FY&N) can help you transform your yard into a beautiful oasis that will not only conserve precious water resources and reduce pollution, but also help you save time, energy, and money.

The FY&N program is an educational outreach program informing homeowners how they can be more environmentally friendly with their landscape care practices and how this can help protect Florida's natural environment for future generations.

This program is partially funded through a grant from the Withlacoochee River Basin Board of the Southwest Florida Water Management District.

We are all connected to the environmental well-being of Florida's livelihood; through the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the environment we live and play in. Our quality of life depends upon our active participation in the management of Florida's natural resources.

The University of Florida County Extension Service is the lead agency implementing this program. Partnerships are encouraged with other governmental and non-governmental agencies, the public and private sector and the green industry.
