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.
