What is sustainable gardening? 

Sustainable gardening focuses on practices that conserve resources, promote biodiversity, and minimize environmental impact. By using eco-friendly techniques like rainwater harvesting and composting sustainable gardening nurtures the environment while supporting healthy growth.

In an early years garden, incorporating sustainable practices offers countless benefits. It teaches children the importance of caring for the planet, provides opportunities to explore nature up close, and creates a dynamic, engaging space for learning and play. Features such as living roofs, rainwater planters, and water butts not only reduce water waste but also spark curiosity about the natural world, laying the foundation for eco-conscious habits from a young age.
