Happy Earth Day Sloat gardeners. At Sloat we deeply believe that gardening is good for the planet. We urge every gardener to plant something this Earth Day…because as we learned in 6th grade science class, through photosynthesis plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen – and that’s a really good thing these days…
5 ways gardeners can celebrate Earth Day
1. Use non-toxic methods to help plants both resist and recover from attack by pests and diseases.
2. Reuse garden waste in compost and mulch.
3. Choose plants that are an appropriate fit for your soil, sun and shade conditions.
4. Use Bay Area native plants (or Mediterranean plants) in your garden: these all need less water.
5. Provide wildlife habitat in your garden.
