Start by selecting native perennial plants that require less water and maintenance. Look for budget-friendly options at local nurseries or plant swaps.
Prepare the soil by adding compost and mulch to improve fertility and water retention. Consider using rain barrels to collect water for irrigation.
Design your garden layout to maximize sunlight exposure and create a diverse ecosystem. Incorporate pathways and seating areas using reclaimed materials.
Plant a variety of perennials to attract pollinators and beneficial insects. Group plants with similar water and sunlight needs for efficient care.
Maintain your garden by mulching regularly, weeding, and deadheading flowers to promote continuous blooming. Consider composting to reduce waste and nourish the soil.
Enjoy the beauty and benefits of your low-carbon perennial garden on a budget. Share your success with others and inspire sustainable gardening practices.
