A sustainable garden breaks free of traditional agricultural methods and uses nature as a model for garden design. A sustainable garden enriches the soil and helps create balanced natural eco systems that help the earth and fight global warming. By employing natural pest control methods and using organic composting you can help the earth while the earth helps you. A sustainable garden, since it is modeled after nature, creates a whole eco system that requires less human input and interference and it helps sustain the earth’s health.

On our website we refer to a suburban garden as a garden at your home that resides in a neighborhood, typically on an acre or less of land. If you live in a rural environment you can do generally as you please but in a suburban neighborhood you do need to consider your neighbors and there are a few more rules. We cater to you and help you figure out the red tape, all you need is a bit of creativity.

A suburban farm is a step beyond backyard gardening, in that your focus is producing food for your family, not just extra vegetables. The addition of animals like chickens, ducks, pigs, or sheep for food and focusing on raising what you need sets the suburban farm apart from the backyard gardener.
