Ecological gardening with native plants uses our treasured native flora and applies the most innovative sustainable practices to create a new norm for the American garden. Such practices preserve floral and faunal diversity, both above and below the soil line, and do not significantly alter the soil, water, air or organisms which exist in or come in contact with our landscape. Learn about creating and maintaining healthy soil with compost and compost tea. Consider site conditions, and how to identify the “right plant for the right place.” Discover how to combine sustainable practices with the goal of achieving a closed system.
