At Winterberry Gardens, we treat everyday like Earth Day. We are constantly looking for more efficient ways to improve our practices and conserve our resources.
This season, we built a new Ebb n’ Flow flood benching system that will conserve a significant amount of water and fertilizer while growing healthier plants at the same time.
Although we operate on a much larger scale, there are still dozens of ways for you to do your part and “Go-Green” at home.
Here are five great suggestions:
1) Collect rainwater to water plants
2) Support the local economy by shopping at farmer’s markets
3) Hold off on turning the lights on for as long as you can. Take advantage of the extended daylight during the Spring & Summer seasons- open your blinds & curtains t0 enjoy natural light!
4) Plant an herb garden
5) Create a homemade compost bin
These are just a few of the ways that you can do your part. For additional ways to live a more “green” life, visit www.gogreen.org.
Happy Earth Day!
