 Garden in Harmony with the Environment
Beautiful gardens need not be a drain on the environment or on your own resources. They can be low-water and low-maintenance, producing lovely settings for people and friendly habitats supporting local wildlife.
Sustainability can be defined as the ability to carry on an activity indefinitely with minimal impact to the environment. This means selecting plants that are appropriate to your climate and caring for them appropriately as well. Information about drought-tolerant gardening, and links to websites devoted to helping you save water, are on our Water Conservation page.
We hope that the information on this page will assist you in designing, planting and maintaining your garden in harmony with your environment. This equates to using only as many resources as necessary, and to balancing the social, environmental and economic costs of keeping your landscape looking good. Your garden-- and the larger community-- will both benefit if you teach yourself, and also train your employees, to practice sustainable gardening.
