How can we relate landscaping & sustainability?
Green landscaping — also known as sustainable or eco-landscaping — is a method to design, create, and maintain our landscapes to save time, money, and energy. Green landscapes nurture wildlife; reduce air, soil, and water pollution; and make healthy recreation spaces.
Why we as Golden Seed care?
As passionate people who love plants, it is easy to see why we might care about the environment but our mission goes deeper than that. Golden Seed is founded by a team of two passionate plant lovers who want to run a business our families and kids can be proud of.
We have seen both environmental damage and the ugly side of the business world firsthand. Our goal is to leave both in the dust as we build a business that is ethical, environmentally responsible, and puts a healthy and thriving planet first.
Our landscaping principle
Sustainability is infused into every landscape design we create.
We design landscaping profiles packed with native plant species or creating a natural habitat for plants that are water-wise and low maintenance. These landscapes attract all sorts of pollinators and native wildlife. We reduce water use and reduce waste produced wherever possible. It turns out that working with nature creates a beautiful space that is better for us and the environment!
We incorporate these landscaping practices and more across three major areas:
Plants
Plant selection plays a critical role in sustainable design. Featuring native plants or plants survive in similar habitat along with noninvasive species is scientifically proven to improve environmental conditions in many ways including creating habitats for native species.
