The 9 Principles of Florida-Friendly Landscaping (FFL) can help protect our water, create beautiful neighborhoods, and support awesome wildlife!
The FFL Program is all about:
- putting the “right plants” in the “right place”
- giving them the right care at the right time
- attracting & protecting beneficial wildlife
- reducing runoff & keeping water clean
- creating vibrant, resilient landscapes
Let’s have some fun!
