Ways to make your business more sustainable:

[  ]  Let part of your garden grow wild. Allow an area of grass to grow long to provide a haven for insects. Grow a wildflower patch to attract bees.

[  ]  Create your own nutrient-rich compost by composting garden waste and vegetable peelings.

[  ]  Try to plant native trees and shrubs.

[  ]  Install a green roof to offer a wealth of eco-friendly gardening benefits. They can be used to plant and support the growth of vegetation as well as to attract insects and bees to populate and pollinate the surrounding area.

[  ]  Collect rainwater using a waterbutt to water your garden instead of turning on a tap or hosepipe from the mains supply.

[  ]  Try to use water-based paints when decorating, instead of oil-based ones which are less eco-friendly.

[  ]  Try to eliminate single-use plastic and plastic bags.

[  ]  Use natural pest control methods to avoid using pesticides as these are harmful to the garden’s natural inhabitants. Instead use organic growing methods.

[  ]  Always buy peat-free compost.

[  ]  Consider making your own cleaning products. Vinegar, lemons, and bicarbonate of soda are the base for many really effective cleaning products.

[  ]  Consider changing to environmentally friendly and chlorine free cleaning products

[  ]  Take part in the RSPB Bird watch and tell your guests about the local birds and wildlife. The RSPB Birdwatch helps to monitor how garden birds are faring, and explains how it is vital we do all we can to look after our birdlife.
