Healthy Gardening

If you are lucky enough to have a garden or yard, you know how rewarding it is to prepare vegetables grown in our own backyard, see the flowers we planted in bloom, or just sit back in a lawn chair, relax and enjoy nature. Gardens offer a wonderful space to play and can help relieve stress.

Why not make our gardens a true haven of health by conserving water and minimizing the amount of synthetic chemicals we use and instead adopting some “Earth-friendly” gardening practices like composting and less toxic pest control?

Gardening Mother Nature’s way is not only healthier for our families and the environment; it also reduces waste and can save water, time, and money! For more information about creating sustainable gardens and landscapes, check out the Monterey Bay Friendly Landscaping program or Atlas Organics’ Educational Resources.
