Recognized Green Professional Program
If you are a green industry professional with a desire to sharpen your ability to establish and maintain environmentally sustainable landscapes – this program is for you.
The Green Pros program will increase your knowledge of ways to establish low maintenance, water saving, and attractive landscapes that fit in with our North Texas climate. That means less need for pesticides, fertilizers, and water.
The program consists of four half-day sessions scheduled in January and February. See schedule of classes and locations below.
Total cost for the series is $50.00. Price includes breakfast and all course materials, including a 160-page Extension publication – Earth-Kind Landscape Management. Class size is limited to 35 to allow for discussion and activities, so register ASAP to reserve your spot.
Completion of the series will allow you to feature your company or yourself in our online directory of Recognized Green Professionals.
