Garden Tips

Become a green gardener.

In England and Wales, around 90% of households have access to a private garden and with 21% of household waste being attributed to the garden, encouraging eco-friendly gardening behavior could make a big impact.

Not only could making your garden green encourage pollinators to visit but could also save you time and money in the long run. Start living a greener life with these helpful garden sustainability tips.

1. Organic gardening is key

Reducing or cutting out the number of chemicals you use in your garden is not only healthier for the environment but also a lot more cost-effective.

2. Grow your own

There is a multitude of reasons why you should start growing your own fruits and veggies including health benefits, cost savings, and saving the planet.

3. Compost your cuttings

A great way to live a greener life and save some money in the process is to compost your green waste (grass clippings, dead flowers, fallen leaves).

4. Collect rainwater

Using rainwater to water your garden or clean your tools is a great way to reduce your impact on the planet while keeping your grass green.

5. Organic seeds are a must

Starting your garden with organic seeds is a great and simple way to get your backyard on an eco-friendly footing.

6.Recycle

It takes less energy to recycle something than to make it from scratch – instead of purchasing brand new planting pots or water cans, see if you can repurpose materials you use in your home.
