Our Recognition Program

What better way to enhance the beauty of Long Beach but with beautiful, individually crafted landscapes that reflect the diversity of our great city. With droughts sweeping the nation, Long Beach is creating many programs to show how conservation can be fun! If you are interested in creating your own landscape this website can be very useful.

Once you have created your Beautiful Long Beach Landscape (BLBL), we would like to recognize you for doing your part to conserve water, beautify Long Beach, and help protect the environment.  We would also like to inspire and help other people successfully design and create their own BLBLs by sharing information with them about your project.  This would include posting photos and your landscape story (what worked, what you would do differently, your favorite plants, etc.) on our website and perhaps in other publications. Let your BLBL inspire and educate others about beautiful water conserving and environmentally-sustainable landscapes throughout our City.

If you have already created your BLBL and are willing to help inspire others to do the same,

   1. Fill out the application (we have a printable version here) and return it to us.

   2. We will call and set up a time with you to visit and check out your landscape.

  • When we do this, we’ll be asking you about your favorite parts of your garden and other questions to put on the website.
  • Picture time! Our photographer will take pictures that will truly display the beauty of your garden.

   3. We’ll get everything together and get you and your landscape on our website.

We are truly excited about everyone’s participation in the effort to keep Long Beach beautiful and to be a water friendly city!
