Gardening is a lovely hobby you undertake. You can plant anything from roses, plants, fruits, creepers and cacti outside your home in your miniature garden. So what is sustainable gardening? It means trying to use gardening to contribute to the environment. How do you do this? Grow more in a little place by limiting the size of your lawns. In fact, you can replace plain grass lawns with a mixture of grass pastures, perennials, shrubs and trees. Replace mulch with shredded newspapers. Try your best to retain water, by using more of mulch. Make it a point to grow lots of trees in your garden. Mother Nature will be proud of you.

By gardening, you will be contributing to the environment in a small way. But by planting trees, you will not only be conserving the existing environment but also adding some more plants for your future generations to nurture. You can ask all your environmentalist friends to join you planting trees in your community. Make it a point to plant at least one tree once in a month. Also make sure that you look after it. In that way, you will end up making a huge difference to the environment.
Contributing to the environment and at the same time having fun is something that even Mother Nature wouldn’t disapprove. I’m sure you would agree. Time to take up these hobbies.
