You can make a big difference to the environment in your garden through a few simple changes:
reduce your use of pesticides, insecticides and chemicals
grow your own fruit and vegetables and save money
change to organic gardening
reduce your garden water usage
build a compost heap
buy a waste digester for food leftovers
buy sustainable garden products – check where your timber is sourced: look for the FSC logo
plant native species
grow your own flowers
build a pond
NEVER use a patio heater
