Being Green in the middle of winter

People always ask.  What kinds of green "things" can we do in the winter? 

• Compost your veggies - Not as warm in the winter, and a little slower to breakdown
• Plant pansies and violas  - If you can obtain organic seeds, go all out and use the flowers on your salad, these are two of the many great edible flowers
• Get a local CSA - Find a great local farmer and see if he's growing in the dead of winter, if not two words Elliot Coleman
• Look for local Christmas Tree and poinsettia growers
• Shop local stores instead of big "eject money out of your community" stores

The Greener Side

As we've advanced over the years in slowly transitioning Nashville, one thing has remained the same. Our dedication to back to the earth landscaping and gardening has continued. In 2009, we will be phasing out of all garden chemicals, substituting them with only the cleanest solutions.

As spring 2009 nears, we're going to have many more green garden tips each week!
