Earth Friendly Home Front Green Ribbon Winners

In partnership with the Coronado Floral Association, Emerald Keepers is pleased to award a green ribbon to 255 Earth Friendly home fronts in the Village and Cays. Earth Friendly home fronts are designed and maintained to beautify homes and benefit nature by conserving water, promoting biodiversity, and nurturing the soil.

GREEN RIBBON GUIDELINES
Emerald Keepers volunteers judged home fronts between March 31 and April 2 based on the following Earth Friendly standards:

• Majority native or low water plants. These plants are adapted to our coastal climate so need limited water and support local biodiversity of birds, bees, butterflies, and insects.
• Limited to no artificial grass. Artificial grass is non-recyclable plastic that damages the soil and harms living organisms.
• Limited to no lawn. Lawns are water intensive and high maintenance with limited benefit to soil or biodiversity.
• Natural mulch covering soil. Mulches such as bark, rock, sand, or decomposed granite cover exposed soil to minimize weeds (and the need for weed killer) and retain moisture and nutrients to nourish plants.
• Majority ground surface unpaved. Unpaved surfaces allow for water absorption to replenish the groundwater supply and minimize runoff into storm drains that pollute our local waterways.

In addition, all Earth Friendly home fronts met the Coronado Flower Show guidelines of obvious effort and curb appeal.

TOP EARTH FRIENDLY HOME FRONTS
Three homes were recognized as Coronado’s top Earth Friendly home fronts in 2023 earning an additional green rosette.

CASH REBATE TO SWITCH TO EARTH FRIENDLY 
Homeowners interested in converting their grass (front, back or side yard and sidewalk strip) to Earth Friendly landscape can receive a cash-back rebate of over $1,100 from Coronado’s local water company, California American Water. Submit the rebate application before starting your Earth Friendly landscaping project to ensure you qualify for the maximum rebate. More information can be found at amwater.com/caaw/conservation.

VISIT EMERALD KEEPERS AT THE FLOWER SHOW
Visit Emerald Keepers’ booth at the Coronado Flower Show this April 15 and 16 in Spreckels Park to learn more about Earth Friendly homes and other local environmental initiatives as part of Earth Month.
