About the 2011 Celebrity Expression Session National Greenscape Challenge Contest

 

What is Greenscaping?

 

What does landscaping have to do with the ocean? Urban runoff is often the primary source of ocean pollution. Everyone wants a beautiful yard to enjoy, but more often than not, that means excessive watering, and the use of fertilizers to keep lawns looking green.

 

However, landscaping can be beautiful, resourceful, wildlife-friendly and prevent runoff by applying three techniques known as “CPR” - Conservation, Permeability and Retention - which can revive our watersheds and help beautify our oceans. For more detailed information about responsible landscaping and gardening techniques visit Surfrider's Ocean Friendly Gardens website here.
