Get Gardening

Aren’t all gardeners green? Not entirely. To be a fully green gardener, you need to consider the effect your gardening choices have on the environment around you. Using pesticides or wasting resources, such as water, may seem like a small thing if you consider your garden in isolation. But there are millions of gardens across the country. If we all waste resources or add pollutants to our environment it compounds to have a significant effect.

If we all make a conscious effort to conserve resources and to limit any damaging effects our gardening has on the environment, the benefits are considerable. Limiting pesticide use, choosing native plants, conserving water, and composting are actions you can take to create an environmentally friendly garden.
