The sustainable garden design incorporates practices that reduce the use of water, soil, and energy. These practices include soil preparation, plant species selection, and water recycling. It also includes high biodiversity landscaping, such as plants that attract wildlife, minimizing carbon emissions and food miles, and incorporating soil biota. Ultimately, these practices make a positive impact on the environment.
In addition to incorporating sustainable gardening practices, you can also plant native plants to improve the health of your soils. Native plants are already adapted to local conditions, so they need less water and effort to maintain. Native plants also provide food and shelter for birds and insects. Contact local gardening experts for recommendations of plants that will thrive in your area. Once you have chosen the best plants for your climate and site, you will want to consider incorporating them into your garden design.
