[PCA] new website connects home gardening to ecosystem

[Mims, Ray]

I thought you might be interested in this new website, www.landscapeforlife.org<http://www.landscapeforlife.org/> that USBG has partnered in creating.  The basic message is Gardening with nature isn't complicated!

Landscape for Life Helps Homeowners Create Sustainable, Beautiful Gardens!  A new website launched by the United States Botanic Garden and the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center gives every home gardener the resources to harness lessons from nature to create a garden that supports the environment.

Based on the Sustainable Sites Initiative, Landscape for Life helps home gardeners work with nature. From a garden in city or suburban lot to a community garden plot or common area of a condo, the website carries the message that we all garden within an ecosystem and offers a wealth of helpful and accessible information to build on this connection.
