Sustainable Gardening

Home gardening—growing trees, shrubs, and plants—benefits the environment in many ways: Photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide from the air; garden beds collect and filter rainwater replenishing aquifers. Growing your own vegetables can reduce your carbon footprint, and certain garden plants attract and sustain pollinators critical for our food supply and the balance of nature.
