1. Review the Education Components<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After reviewing the education components, see if your landscape meets some of the scorecard metrics. You can choose to implement any additional components and practices from the program to increase your sustainability factor!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Fill out the Metric Scorecard<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you have completed your landscape projects and are happy with your efforts, please check off the achieved sustainable practices from the scorecard for point values. Action items already existing or practiced in your landscape can be counted too, so check those boxes as well! Add your education component subtotals to create your grand points total at the bottom of the list. A minimum number of 25 sustainable landscape actions will be necessary to meet the requirements and gain \u201cCertified Georgia Landscape\u201d status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
