The county currently has seven gardens. These gardens are run on a daily basis by the individual associations with their own set of bylaws — although County rules and regulations must be observed.
There are many ways to make your garden greener: Composting, native plants, reducing lawn area, using less fertilizer and pesticide, eco-friendly lawn care.
