TN Smart Yards Contest in Lawrence County

Would you like to learn about healthy landscaping that protects our natural resources? This is a program that guides and assists TN residents and neighborhoods with practices they can use in their yards and common areas to create healthier living spaces and communities.

First 10 participates to register and get certified as a Tennessee Smart Yard will receive a Free Certified Smart Yard Sign!

Tennessee Smart Yards is an Extension-led program that guides Tennesseans on practices they can apply in their outdoor spaces to create healthier, more ecologically-sound landscapes and communities. Nine principles of stewardship serve as the foundation for the program and are explored in online modules and practical workshops taught by UT-TSU Extension and water resource professionals. 

You don’t have to be an expert gardener or landscaper to create a Tennessee Smart Yard. All it takes is a willingness to learn and a desire to take actions described in our Workbook. Maintaining a Tennessee Smart Yard provides natural functionality for homeowners through working with nature for the benefit of both. Learn why a “Smart Yard” is right for you and our environment.​
