Creating Sustainable Gardens:
A Guide to Organic Horticultural Practices

At Walsh & Co. Gardens and Design Ltd., we believe in the power of nature and the importance of preserving it. That's why we specialize in using native and site-appropriate plants, creating bee-friendly and bird-friendly gardens, and designing natural landscapes. By incorporating these practices into your garden, you can create a thriving ecosystem that supports local wildlife and reduces your environmental impact.
One of the key principles of organic horticulture is using native plants. These plants are well-adapted to the local climate and soil conditions, making them more resilient and less reliant on chemical inputs. By choosing site-appropriate plants, you can create a garden that is drought resistant (requiring less water), produces its own natural fertilizer, and is pest resistant, reducing your environmental footprint.
In addition to native plants, creating bee-friendly and bird-friendly gardens is another important aspect of sustainable gardening. Bees and birds play a crucial role in pollination, which is essential for the reproduction of many plants. By providing them with a habitat that offers food, water, and shelter, you can attract these beneficial creatures to your garden you can enjoy their beauty and help support their populations.
When designing your garden, consider incorporating natural landscapes. Instead of relying on manicured lawns and perfectly pruned shrubs, embrace the beauty of wildflowers, meadows, and naturalistic planting schemes. These natural landscapes not only require less maintenance but also provide valuable habitats for insects, birds, and other wildlife.
