An organic garden means a garden that relies only on natural materials rather than synthetic ones. Those who have organic gardens normally take pride in their gardens and the benefits they provide for the environment. Discuss the idea with your landscaping contractor and they will help you to come up with the best ideas for your garden to create a natural and self sustaining garden.

The main culprits for regular gardens are pesticides and fertilizers. People often use synthetic products here that can get into the environment and cause more harm than good to the environment as they get passed through the food chain – our own urine sometimes even contains these and it's a particular threat if you grow your own food.

Your landscapers can help you to avoid this problem by designing the garden in an eco friendly manner. For instance something like a ladybird patch – designed to attract ladybirds – can help to eradicate aphids without a touch of pesticide. Meanwhile egg shells on the floor around your plants can help to prevent slugs from getting to your plants and help to fertilize the soil.
