My boyfriend John is mentioned in the article here. It's from Hernando Today and describes a recent Florida Yards & Neighborhoods certification conducted by my b.f. at the Brooksville office of Florida's Southwest Water Management District (SWFWMD). FYN recognizes yards that are especially Florida-Friendly, meaning that they make efforts to reduce stormwater runoff (like the rain barrel shown here), use mulch (again, shown), and are fertilized and irrigated appropriately. Fortunately, SWFWMD passed their certification.
