Land reclamation through garden recycling

It got me thinking about how some people are quickly getting right into a cycle into replacing gardens every couple of years, nearly as frequently as we redecorate our houses and replace kitchens.


It is clearly not necessarily the most effective method to take into consideration, in a hurry to get the most recent colour or assortment, we miss the simple things and when Alberta Trees can take decades to achieve its full glory and not relax in our garden. Really in among the Bow Point Nursery layouts we recently undertook and discovered materials to reuse and conserve cash in the garden and some great existing trees.

I have been keen on using rock that is recycled within my layouts. It provides patina you will never find in rock that is new. It is possible to rest assured it never finds its approach but will grace another garden for a discerning owner although I have frequently been requested to get rid of old stone!


However there is a lot more to recycle than simply old rocks. These days it is possible to head to numerous reclamation lawns and locate materials that are excellent for the garden. There are some simple old stone troughs which will look great in the majority of town gardens and urns but also some glorious statues.

Keep your eyes skinned and as they take the landscapers perhaps bringing some treasure which will seem great in your garden out as well as help in land reclamation through Native Plants Alberta.

Sometimes I have taken recycling to extremes. Even though it is a difficult or inexpensive job I despise taking down trees and have frequently had the opportunity to transplant some rather big specimens.
