BFF Garden
Bee Friendly Farming GARDEN
Bee Friendly Farming GARDEN is specifically designed for home, public, school and community gardeners who promote and provide habitat and pollinator health in non-commercial settings.
BFF GARDEN has been designed to distinguish these members from commercial farming enterprises or sponsors, as well as highlighting gardeners who follow the specified guidelines in providing for pollinators and offering a diverse and permanent habitat source at a scale at or above a small home garden.
In addition, BFF GARDEN registration means limiting or avoiding the use of harmful pesticides on blooming plants, and paying the annual $79 registration fee. BFF GARDEN membership does not include logo use except in special circumstances.
Before applying, please view the logo use agreement.
