In partnership with the Coronado Floral Association, Emerald Keepers is pleased to award 370 green ribbons for earth-friendly home fronts with 276 green ribbon winners in the Village and 94 green ribbon winners in the Cays. Earth-friendly home fronts beautify homes and benefit our environment by conserving water, promoting biodiversity, and nurturing the soil. Increasing awareness of the merits of earth-friendlly landscaping has led to a significant increase in green ribbons since the program launched in 2023.
TOP EARTH-FRIENDLY HOME FRONTS
Three homes were recognized as Coronado’s top earth-friendly home fronts in 2026 earning an additional green rosette ribbon.
Follow a village walking tour of the 2026 top earth friendly homefronts with the custom map. A PDF of the walking tour map can be found HERE.
GREEN RIBBON GUIDELINES
Concurrent with the Coronado Flower Show home front judging, Emerald Keepers volunteers judged home fronts between March 27 and March 29 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 lawn. Lawns are 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.
- 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.
