Landscapers from around the region converged on the production, tasked with removing existing flora and replanting an entirely new front and side yard for a corner-lot home in just eight hours. Needing as many experienced hands as possible, Wilcox Nursery and Landscape<\/a>\u2019s Bruce Turley reached out to Himmelfarb to see if any Eckerd students would be interested in assisting.

Flip My Florida Yard<\/em> is teamed up with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection<\/a> and the University of Florida\u2019s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences<\/a> to promote sustainable yard culture. \u201cMost people want an environmentally friendly yard; they just don\u2019t quite know how to go about doing it,\u201d Crawford says on the show\u2019s website. \u201cWell, this series is going to show you how to do it step-by-step.\u201d<\/p>\n

Once Himmelfarb and his students viewed the plan, they were handed shovels and sent off to work in the yard alongside landscaping professionals from around the region, including Alex Testa \u201920, owner of Tampa Bay Native Landscapes. He learned all about Florida-friendly landscaping as an environmental studies student at Eckerd, a member of the EC Garden Club<\/a> and manager of the St. Petersburg Eco Village<\/a>. \u201cWe learned it in all our biology classes and Coastal Management,\u201d Testa recalls. \u201cIt was very good preparation for what I do now, which is converting yards to drought-tolerant Florida native plants.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”7786″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” img_link_large=”yes” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”48″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]Testa touts to his customers the benefits of conversion, including the fact that he hasn\u2019t run sprinklers in his own yard the last two years.<\/p>\n

\u201cHonestly, I hope this show will start to inspire locals to do more native plantings, because it will show it isn\u2019t difficult, it\u2019s not very expensive and it saves you money,\u201d Testa says.<\/p>\n

Himmelfarb adds that it\u2019s also better for the environment. \u201cUnsustainable landscaping contributes to overuse of water and pesticides and allows invasive species to spread,\u201d he explains. \u201cThere is a big movement toward planting primarily native species that will require less water and will attract pollinators and serve as bird habitats.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
