Nancy and Chris Ritchey - Bronze Level Louisiana Certified Habitat - Lafayette

Congratulations to Nancy and Chris Ritchey for their bronze certification! They're located in a subdivision on a corner lot one block from the Vermilion River. They told us they got interested in native plants during their Master Gardener training program, and were subsequently introduced to ANPP as they acquired native species for their garden. They

attended the ANPP Y2H workshop and connected with Jackie Carlisi, one of ANPP's volunteer advisors who helped them develop a garden plan. Both Nancy and Chris love

nature and want to develop their property to help the natural environment and animal species.
