Welcome

Gardening for the planet is the concept that we can help preserve and restore natural habitats through environmentally responsible gardening. We need to think of our gardens not only as a source of pleasure for our human selves, but also as an extension of the natural habitats surrounding us, and as a source of existence for our plant and animal friends. Green thumbs are not needed, only a commitment to a better life for all.

We are destroying natural habitats at a rapid rate, with little concern for the life within. Not only are we losing our natural heritage, but we are depriving our descendants of a rich inheritance.

Among these pages you will find information on the flora and fauna of the southeast, and how you can become involved in stewardship. You will also find information on how to garden for the planet and how to create your own wildlife sanctuary.
