Everyday Green Changes

Whether you live in the city, country or somewhere in between, window boxes are an easy way to brighten your home with flowers. Plus, they make excellent homes for herbs like basil, and veggies like tomatoes and lettuce.

Caring for the plants and flowers that already grow naturally around your home is one of the best ways to be a truly green gardener. Since they’re already used to the soil, native species require fewer pesticides and fertilizers.

Collecting rainwater in barrels or buckets is the wisest way to keep your plants hydrated. You’ll save gallons of water and money too!
