Tennessee Smart Yards is a UT Extension-led program that guides Tennesseans on practices they can apply in their outdoor spaces to create healthier, more ecologically-sound landscapes and communities.

Nine principles of stewardship serve as the foundation for the program and are explored in online modules and practical workshops taught by UT Extension and water resource professionals. You don’t have to be an expert gardener or landscaper to create a Tennessee Smart Yard.  Having a desire to learn and the will to adapt gardening and landscaping habits is all it takes!
