On Thursday, we received our
Florida Water Star and
Florida Friendly Landscape certifications from our rater,
Lorna Bravo. We earned Florida Water Star's highest certification, Gold, for our water conservation measures, and the Florida Friendly Landscaping certification recognizes our sustainable landscape practices. Lorna, a brilliant sustainable construction consultant and master gardener, guided us through the certification processes, and
James Jiler, the landscape designer about whom we've
written before, is responsible for creating a native wildlife-sustaining habitat and food forest that does not require irrigation.
