Ideas for creating your Eco-Friendly Garden

Successional Garden

This is done by planting layers of bulbs with known bloom periods, so your garden is full of blooms as much as possible throughout the season.

Complimentary

An excellent way to manage biodiversity is to work well with others, and the same goes for your garden! Choose plants that compliment each other in attracting polinators, and those that naturally deter pests.

Sustainability

This utlizes and makes the most of what you have in your garden by planting native platnts, collecting rainwater, using compost to maintain soils throughout the year, using techniques to reduce waster, rescyling pots and reducing plastic etc.

Dry Gardens

Reduce the amount you water in your garden by planting cactus or other types of desert plants that require less water in the hot Okanagan summers.
