Sustainable Gardening Tips!
1.
Grow Native.
Nature has designed the perfect plant for your micro-climate: the one that is native to your area. Check natural areas and local garden experts for plants that thrive in your conditions.
2.
Save Seeds.
Seed saving brings you more in-tune with your plants and assures that the seed you'll plant next season has done well this season.
3.
Compost.
Composting has the most impact of any sustainable gardening practice. Composting
recycles and enriches. It benefits the health of your soil and benefits your family at the same time.
4. Water Source.
The sustainable gardener should utilize rain barrels
and collection systems to provide water and protect water quality
by not using herbicides or pesticides that might contaminate it as it percolates through the soil and heads back to the water supply.
