Life is a garden

Our environment, your backyard

The best place to start making a difference to the environment is in your own backyard.

The pages introduce some basic principles that you can follow to support the environment in your own garden.

Get to know what's beyond your back door
Every local area has its own ecosystem shaped by climate, weather, soil, flora and fauna and with this comes unique sensitivities. It is important to understand what's best for your own backyard to be able to make a contribution and nurture your local environment.

Your local garden centre staff will understand your local area and can give advice to help you protect your environment from your own backyard.

Discovering what you can do to support the environment is easy.
There are simple considerations around issues like water, weeds, chemicals recycling and habitat that make all the difference.  Growing your own food and practising sustainable gardening are other fun and rewarding ways to support the environment in your garden.
