Garden Organically

Organic gardening practices nurture and enhance life in a diverse and complex ecosystem, and ensure the long-term ability of the soil to produce crops.

Gardening organically doesn't just mean avoiding the use of chemical pesticides -- it represents an approach to gardening that works with nature instead of against it. That means considering what to plant and where, in addition to conserving water, building the soil and nurturing benficial insects.
