Grasslands Nursery is all about Sustainable Gardening:
- xeriscaping – landscaping in a manner that conserves water by following the seven basic principles of xeriscape gardening
- incorporating native or indigenous species into your yard – what could be more sustainable than using plant material that was here long before we were?
- growing your own vegetables and herbs – experiencing the satisfaction and comfort in harvesting fresh produce, herbs and small fruits.
