5 Ways to Go Green in Your Garden for Earth Day

Creating a more eco-friendly garden is easy. Try these simple ideas for celebrating Earth Day by creating a more sustainable yard.

1. Plant a tree. Trees help purify the air, give wildlife a home, and provide shade from the hot summer sun.

2. Start a compost pile. Composting takes your kitchen scraps and converts them to nutrient-rich food for your soil. You’ll add less trash to the landfill and make your plants happy in the process.

3. Water smartly. Give your garden a drink during the coolest part of the day, so more water has a chance to seep into the ground before it evaporates…and you will save water over the long run.

Tip Tricks

4. Reduce the grass in your lawn. Non-grass lawns can be made up of easy-care ground cover plants, wildflowers, stone, pavers and/or other materials. The result? Less work, less watering needed, and less mowing.

5.Try using organic seeds. Planting organic seeds is another simple way to start your garden on eco-friendly footing.
