Whether your garden oasis is a sprawling backyard or assembled in containers on a balcony, going organic is achievable wherever you opt to stick in your spade, according to one of Canada’s best-known gardening experts.
Mark Cullen shares suggestions for grooming lawns and gardens in an eco-conscious fashion in his new book, The Canadian Garden Primer: An Organic Approach.
Cullen says the inspiration was mainly drawn from experience with Canadian farmers over the past decade and noticing an emerging interest in the environment as it relates to gardening.
What’s more, concerns about the environmental costs of trucking in foods have boosted interest in eating locally, which was the goal of the 100 Mile Diet, he says.
