Been eco-gardening for years. Composting is a no-brainer, turns waste into gold 🌟. Rain barrels? Essential for water-wise gardening 🚿. Recycled materials for hardscaping are a must, durable and guilt-free 🛠️.

Great topic! 🌱🌻 To incorporate sustainable landscaping, start by choosing native plants that thrive in your local climate and require less water. Use mulch to retain moisture and reduce weeds. Also, consider installing a rain garden to manage runoff and support local wildlife. Small changes can make a big impact!

Choose native plants that require less water and maintenance, and use mulch to conserve moisture and reduce weeds. Incorporating a rain garden or drip irrigation system can also help manage water use more efficiently while supporting local ecosystems.

Sustainable landscaping can be achieved by using native plants, setting up rainwater collection systems, composting kitchen scraps, and choosing permeable materials like gravel or reclaimed stone for hardscaping—it's all about working with nature!
