Your home's lawn and garden are one of the first things a potential buyer sees when they pull up to your property. If listing your home is on the agenda this year, now is a great time to do some landscaping maintenance. Colourful flowers, lush lawns... they take some commitment but the return is very worth it. Plus, you will get to enjoy a beautiful backyard!

As you know, I'm a big fan of supporting green alternatives. This article posted on Sutton.com explains the benefits of using a drip irrigation system for your lawn and garden, a great way to ensure efficient watering practices. Sprinkler irrigation systems can water at a rate of 4 litres per minute, while a drip irrigation system may release only 4 litres per hour. Now that is a green alternative!

Do you have any green gardening alternatives to share? I would love to hear them.

Happy landscaping!
