The AHS Essential Guide to Ecological Gardening shares insight on the many ways gardeners can embrace nature for a healthier, more vibrant home landscape. True ecological gardening goes far beyond the battle cry of "Leave the leaves!" spread across social media every autumn.

Becoming a responsible steward of a thriving garden ecosystem has never been more important.

Design a garden that's both aesthetically pleasing and ecologically soundFoster a greater diversity of plants and animals through considerate gardening practicesPrevent stormwater runoff with the use of rain gardens and rain-capturing systemsReduce and replace resource-intensive lawnsMaintain your garden in a nature-friendly wayIncorporate keystone plants in your garden that support a broad diversity of lifeManage weeds and pests safelyConduct wildlife-friendly garden cleanupsFoster pollinators, soil organisms, and other wildlife by focusing on native plants By adopting and implementing the principles of ecological gardening, you and your garden will become part of the solution...and you'll have a beautiful, resilient garden you can feel good about.
