Plummeting biodiversity and the effects of climate change are vast, complex problems. It’s hard to imagine how to take meaningful action. Gardens offer a way. Rethinking gardens helps mitigate the effects of extreme weather, creates habitat and brings a new sense of purpose to the effort and expense of stewardship.
How to rethink a garden:
design with native plants
plan for the removal of invasives
plan to absorb water
construct durable, practical fencing and paving to reduce future waste
establish diverse plant communities
practice low-cost, zero-waste garden stewardship
