Now's the time things turn Green!! (And bright hues of Every Color!)

Now's a Perfect time to plant from Seed!

Veggies, Flowers, Roots, Herbs, Beans, Greens, Tomatoes, Vines, Bulbs,...

Don't Say you Don't Have Time, Busy N'Yorkers!!!

This needn't take up all the time or attention some devoted gard'ners Devote...

(and hesitant gard'ners/ dedicated urbanites avoid, thus losing the joys of gard'ning altogether...)

Try Simple, Care-Free gardening! You'll enjoy the time spent, and enjoy all the more restful times entertaining/ relaxing/ being in your gorgeous Garden Environment...

A few Care-Free, all-natural strategies to creating a vibrant, food-rich garden... at little cost, absorbing little of your time:

* Make your own soil (really rich, nutritious, healthy soil!)

* USE the Leaves/ other (organic) Debris!!

* What $$ you spend, spend on good seeds (heirloom varieties, organic seeds)... tho' don't let this stop you. If you want to buy cheep seeds at your local hardware or garden store, please do! It's still 5 steps more organic/ homegrown/ healthy than buying ev'thing at yer local grocery... and beauty-full!

*No-till gardening...

*Eco-Logical choices in design

*"Advanced" eco-Logical practices such as Rainwater harvesting, berm/ swale systems, ponds, watersheds, solar/ wind power and water-heating-- much more...!

Such gardening can be done indoors in windowsills, year-round, and in front and back yards as well as atop roofs...

Let's Green Brooklyn!

One HouseHold at a time!

How 'bout yours?

I offer consultations, mentoring (in which we work together to design/ implement a garden/ landscape plan) and landscaping service in which I do the work for you, and implement occasional or regular maintenance.

Reasonable, fair... I'd just like to spread this knowledge/ practice(s) into every NYC household, starting here in Bklyn-- starting with You(?)!
