Every home landscape has the potential to be more beautiful, help clean air and water, reduce flooding, and combat climate change. Yet conventional gardening practices too often work against nature, damaging the environment’s ability to provide these natural benefits.
Join us for this five-part series about creating a sustainable home landscape. Learn how to attract beneficial insects and birds, eliminate water problems, build healthy soil, reduce maintenance in your garden, and save money.
