Sustainable Garden Centres
Sustainable gardening can be simply defined as a system of gardening which is ethically or environmentally sound, while being practical. Or according to this story - sustainability is about growing food with as little external input as possible in the way of fertilisers, soil, and infrastructure, so the amount of food you get is equal to or exceeds the effort and input going into producing them.
Many people already practice sustainable gardening and there are some garden centres that have been certified as sustainable garden centres by the SGA. If you are in Victoria, these garden retailers can give you information and advice on gardening in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way:
