Gardening Tips
Having a garden is a key aspect of a sustainable lifestyle. When you go to the grocery store to buy produce like fruits and vegetables, as well as eggs, each of those items comes with a carbon footprint and other environmental complications. Unfortunately, a lot of industrial-level farming practices aren’t good for the environment and they aren’t sustainable either. Growing your own fruits and vegetables reduces the negative impact that industrial farming has.
We are strong proponents of living a sustainable lifestyle, both by having a garden and by making environmentally friendly choices that put you on a more sustainable path. That includes using less single-use plastic, conserving energy and water, gardening using organic methods, avoiding synthetic chemicals inside and outside of the home, driving less, living off the grid, and other sustainable efforts.
Sustainable living isn’t just good for the planet but it’s good for you too. Often times, living sustainably means simplifying your life – you get more out of life with less. Sustainable living helps avoid unnecessary consumerism, save money, save the earth, and save your sanity all along the way.
Our gardening tips will help guide you to a greener lifestyle that benefits the planet, your pocket, your community, and yourself too. If all of us did just a little bit to be more sustainable, we could have a massive positive impact and change our world.
So let’s explore these gardening tips together and work toward a greener future for our kids and grandkids.

I love decorating my home with things found in nature.
