Green Ribbon Winners for Coronado’s Home Front Judging

In partnership with the Coronado Floral Association, Emerald Keepers is pleased to award 342 green ribbons for earth-friendly home fronts in the Village and Cays. Earth-friendly home fronts are designed and maintained to benefit our environment by conserving water, promoting biodiversity, and nurturing the soil.

TOP EARTH-FRIENDLY HOME FRONTS
Three homes were recognized as Coronado’s top earth-friendly home fronts in 2025 earning an additional green rosette ribbon.

GREEN RIBBON GUIDELINES 
Concurrent with the Coronado Flower Show home front judging, Emerald Keepers volunteers judged home fronts between March 28 and March 30 based on the following earth-friendly standards:

• Limited to no lawn. Grass is water intensive and high maintenance with limited benefit to soil or biodiversity.
• Limited to no artificial grass. Artificial grass is non-recyclable plastic that damages the soil and harms living organisms.
• 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.
• 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 meet the Coronado Flower Show guidelines of obvious effort, good maintenance, and curb appeal.

AVOID FAKE GRASS
A popular misconception is that fake grass is earth friendly because it requires less water. In reality, fake grass is a plastic pollutant that is harmful to the soil, biodiversity, and human health. Homes with fake grass are ineligible for the top earth-friendly awards.
