Holistic Horticulture is an approach to gardening and plant care that considers the entire ecosystem, rather than just individual plants. It integrates organic, ecological, and sustainable practices to promote soil health, biodiversity, and environmental balance.
Key Principles of Holistic Horticulture:
Soil Health & Regeneration – Focuses on building rich, living soil through composting, mulching, and avoiding synthetic chemicals.
Biodiversity & Companion Planting – Encourages planting a variety of species that support each other, attract beneficial insects,
and deter pests naturally.
Organic & Natural Methods – Uses natural fertilizers, pest control, and disease prevention rather than synthetic
pesticides & herbicides.
Water Conservation – Employs techniques like rainwater harvesting, drip irrigation, and xeriscaping to minimize water waste.
Ecosystem Balance – Supports local wildlife, beneficial insects, and native plants too.
