It’s all about a variety of green grasses and shrubs, moving away from colourful perennials and annuals. While adding pops of colourful flowers will always be classic, implementing different shades of green seems to be on everyone’s wish list.

Growing vegetable gardens at home has always been popular in more rural areas. One main benefit of this is knowing exactly what you are putting into your body! It is the purest form of ‘Organic’ (one you can trust), no harsh pesticides, chemicals, growth hormones and it eliminates the cycling of harmful, unnatural resources back into the environment. These reasons and more is why growing fresh veggies in ANY size backyard, is something you should consider. For smaller properties, consider a potted vegetable garden or a small raised garden bed.
