Every one of us has the ability to make a positive difference to the health of our amazing planet, and this can be 
something as simple as selecting gardening products that have a low environmental impact rating. Overuse of any garden product can lead to chemical and nutrient pollution in our waterways as well as potentially impacting on beneficial critters in our own garden. So knowing which product to select, when faced with a plethora of ‘plantastic products’ in the local garden centre, can be very daunting! That’s where the Sustainable Gardening Australia Environmental Rating Guide comes in….!
Picking the Right Products
SGA promotes non-chemical methods to prevent pest and disease problems in the garden as the first line of defence, but there are times when gardeners will want to choose a chemical solution. When faced with this decision, then choose one of the low environmental impact alternatives from our Green Up Product Guide – Mother Nature will thank you for it! All of the products listed here have achieved an SGA Low Environmental Impact rating, and all products are periodically re-assessed to ensure that any changes to formulations, packaging or active ingredients have been accounted for. Oh, and just so you know, SGA does not endorse any product or receive financial benefit from the sale of any of these products.
