Sustainable Gardening with Northbrook Garden Club

At Northbrook Garden Club, we believe that every outdoor space has the potential to support biodiversity as well as being a beautiful and functional.


We embrace and promote sustainable gardening practices - we love a three-season pollinator buffet filled with native plants and colorful blooms  for us to admire, water for insects, amphibians and birds, and avoiding practices that are not beneficial to wildlife or human kind. 

Contact us if you have a question. We will try to help!

Perennials that grow in your conditions -  shade or sun, wet or dry soi - provide insects such as butterflies, moths, and bees with food. Many native insects need specific host plants for their eggs. Birds fee caterpillars and insect to their young and so your yard becomes full of life!

AVOID HERBICIDES & PESTICIDES
