1.   Shrink your lawn
2.   Gather rain water
3.   Use mulch
4.   Compost
5.   Choose native plants

7.   Plant shade trees
8.   Plant edible ornamentals

Trees for Life ... Landscapes for Living
Gardens should appeal to all of your senses ... the fragrance of the lilacs in the spring, the fuzziness of the pussywillow, the rustling of ornamental grasses in the wind, the sight of butterflies and birds, and the taste of the crabapples in the fall. Everyone appreciates a well-kept yard and garden. Weeding, watering, mowing, planting flowers, raking and fertilizing turf are tasks most people are familiar with, and even enjoy! Recent studies show that gardening is the number one leisure-time hobby in Canada. This means the "green industry" in Canada is a thriving and growing concern! For Trees will provide professional help to see you through the most difficult and time-consuming gardening tasks, so you can enjoy your garden or outdoor living room all year long. Landscaping
