About this Event

The Florida-Friendly Landscaping™ Program offers a Florida-Friendly Landscaping™ Certified Professional (FFLCP) designation to individuals who have completed the required training in FFL principles and are familiar with the latest UF/IFAS recommendations. These trained professionals have demonstrated the ability to recognize and address common landscape issues by using environmentally sustainable landscape management practices that help preserve and protect Florida’s water and natural resources.

FFLCP candidates must complete prerequisite online courses (see here: https://ffl.ifas.ufl.edu/ffl-and-you/ffl-professional-certification/getting-certified/ ), participate in a field module with exam, and agree to the code of ethics. The 3- to 4-hour Florida-Friendly Landscaping™ Certified Professional Field Module consists of both classroom and field training, and a short exam. The classroom training reviews FFL principles and topics covered in the online prerequisite courses. The field training includes a site visit to review site conditions, identify what is/is not FFL, identify invasive plants and weeds, and discuss recommended management practices. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND completing the prerequisite online courses mentioned above BEFORE attending the Field Module.
