Kara Krueger, environmental horticulture agent for the county extension service’s Florida-Friendly Landscaping Program, awarded its gold level recertification recognition to Terry and Lucy Brown for their Ocean Ridge property, a native plant haven and habitat for birds and butterflies. The Browns’ garden also has been recognized with the original FFL Certified Florida Yard award and with a Native Garden of Excellence award from the Ocean Ridge Garden Club. The FFL program rewards clients’ efforts to conserve water and protect water quality and other natural resources, and educates people on the benefits. ABOVE (l-r): Krueger with the Browns.
