Green is More Than Just a Color

 

As Florida grows, more people must share the state's natural resources. It has never been more important for homeowners to understand that they can use less water, save money and still enjoy a healthy lawn.

 

Do you

...water your lawn twice a week - or less?

... know how to tell when your grass is thirsty?

...re-set your sprinklers when the seasons change?

 

 

If you answered yes - way to grow!  You're well on your way to having a healthy lawn and doing your part for Florida's environment.

 

 

The Florida Sod Growers Cooperative can show you how to conserve water, save money, do your part to help the environment - and enjoy your lawn.
