Certifications are NOT required. I just like them and the signs help to bring awareness to why I plant the things I plant and also the reasons for not having a traditional lawn.
Certifications available for your pollinator, butterfly, and wildlife friendly yard in Central Florida.
Each organization has its own requirements to certify your space.
Butterfly habitats generally require host plants (specific plants that each type of caterpillar eat), nectar plants (flowering plants/trees/shrubs for the adult butterflies), somewhere to roost or take cover from the weather, and a water source.
