Making your garden more sustainable

It’s so easy to be so busy concentrating on the inside of your home, you forget about styling the garden.
A recent study in Britain showed that gardening can help offset the growing effects of global warming.
Here are some of the ways you can do it yourself:
· Swap your petrol lawnmower for a manual and cut emissions by 36kg of CO2 every year.
· Buy garden furniture made from sustainable products.
· Join a local gardening group
· Use a watering can instead of a sprinkler (sprinklers use 138 litres more of water).
· If you have a large garden dig in a low volume irrigation system with a timer.
