If you've been thinking of taking steps to lower your environmental impact, summer is the perfect time to go green. Follow these tips to green your family's routine this summer. 

Green Your BBQ
Summer is cookout season. Make your BBQ eco-friendly by using a propane grill rather than charcoal, which is a dirtier fuel. 

Green your barbecues by switching from plastic or Styrofoam plates to compostable or disposable plates. Recycle your beverage containers, or serve iced tea, infused water, or lemonade in reusable cups to lower waste. 

Have you ever considered incorporating a pond or water fountain to your outdoor space?  There is something very soothing about water.  Adding a water feature can provide a tranquil and relaxing ambiance in your garden.  We've found some lovely water features for you to peruse.

Along with summer comes outdoor parties, barbecues and dinners outside on the patio. What to pair with all the delicious grilled entrees?  Fresh summer sides and salads, of course!  We've found some incredible ones for you to try out.
