Naturescaping
The garden of naturescape student L. Anderson after one year.
Naturescaping is gardening and garden planning that:
- Eliminates the need for expensive, synthetic fertilizers by organically improving the soil's fertility and tilth.
- Puts the right plant in the right place for healthy plants and reduced maintenance.
- Reduces the garden's summer water needs by improving the soil, recycling rainwater and using drought-tolerant plants.
- Incorporates the use of site-appropriate native plants.
- Encourages birds, butterflies and beneficial wildlife while discouraging damaging insects and wildlife.
- Eliminates the need for toxic pesticides and herbicides by encouraging beneficial insects and improving soil fertility.
- Allows you to relax and take pleasure in your low-maintenance garden!
