Yard and Garden Care

In a sustainable landscape, resources such as sunlight, water, and wind are managed to create diversity and abundance.

The Living Green Expo showcases beautiful and productive lawns and gardens done in ways that minimize their use of inputs that are environmentally unfriendly, composting, protecting and conserving local water resources, and more.

Visitors should also visit the new Outdoor Living tent for workshops and more exhibitors.

The challenges of the yard and garden

Imagine a beautiful and abundant landscape that provides for humans as well as the rest of nature… a landscape that yields fruits, medicinal herbs, vegetables, nectar-rich plants. A sustainable landscape does just that, producing yields for today and many years to come. In a sustainable landscape, resources such as sunlight, water, and wind are managed to create diversity and abundance. In this landscape, nature – plants, soil organisms, animals – does most of the work. Your job, as designer and steward of the land, is to create strong and healthy partnerships between the natural elements.
