The Florida-Friendly Landscaping program is used to giving out the gold, but earlier this month it was the recipient.
The television series “Flip My Florida Yard” won an Emmy for best magazine program at the 47th Annual Suncoast Regional Emmy Awards, held Saturday, December 2 in Hollywood, Florida.
The Florida-based gardening show travels to yards around the state and gives them the ultimate Florida-Friendly Landscaping makeover all in eight hours.

Each transformation is led by a University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) Extension agent.
