Fun tips to Green your Garden

I'm wondering, can you taste the freshness in organic fruits and veggies? I'm not sure, but in my personal consulting with individuals looking to build a sustainable lifestyle for themselves, the sustainability concept of "organic" comes up.

Living in Houston, Texas, we are privy to good weather most of the year and organic gardening has been gaining in popularity for years. Mainly due to environmental concerns, gardeners are increasing their awareness and education in bringing eco awareness to their gardens.

Organic gardening leads to better health in three main ways:

When you garden organically, you greatly reduce your exposure to pesticides, which have been linked to many severe health problems.
Organically-grown food is more nutritious than food grown using conventional methods.
Organic gardeners tend to use “muscle-power” rather than “machine-power” for gardening tasks.
