Eco-Friendly Practices at Beagle Ridge

At Beagle Ridge Herb Farm, eco-friendly practices are woven into every aspect of our gardening philosophy. Using native plants and companion planting, we ensure that our gardens thrive without relying on harmful chemicals. This approach not only maintains the health of our plants but also supports local wildlife and enhances biodiversity.

Visitors can see firsthand how simple changes, like reducing water usage through mulching, can make a significant difference in conservation efforts. Additionally, composting organic matter aids in enriching the soil, demonstrating a full-cycle approach to sustainability.

Our gardens serve as a living classroom for eco-friendly practices, where community members and tourists alike can learn the importance of sustainable choices. By prioritizing these methods, Beagle Ridge Herb Farm becomes a haven for those seeking to understand and support natural conservation efforts. 



Sustainable Gardening Techniques

Sustainable gardening techniques are at the heart of what we do at Beagle Ridge Herb Farm. These techniques are designed to protect and enhance the natural environment while cultivating a healthy and productive garden. We plant intensely so that the ground is covered with  plants and the surrounding mulch. This keeps weeds to a minimum. Are we weed free, far from it, but this method provides an easy way to pull those weeds that sneak in. 

In several areas we have catch plants, which attract beneficial insects, which then allows the good bugs to control the bad bugs. One example is our insectarium which provides a a feast for the pollinators and beneficial. This area attracts everything from ladybugs, lacewings, even hover flies and predatory wasps



Visitors can observe how these methods create a balanced and thriving ecosystem. With a focus on sustainable gardeningwe aim to inspire our guests to adopt these practices at home, contributing to a larger movement of natural conservation. By participating in our workshops, you can gain hands-on experience in these techniques.
