Chicago Flower and Garden Show 2011 was a breath of "green" Spring air. Featured this year at the event were several incredible displays of green and sustainable garden solutions which helped consumers see how they might apply green living ideas in their gardens.
Above you see a special fountain at the Aquascape Inc. garden display. While it looks like rock, it is actually made of made from post-consumer recycled plastics. Putting the fountain on top of a rain water collection system is a super green garden idea. Contact the Aquascape Inc team via their website to learn more.
Below you see the Conservation Home displays featured by The Conservation Foundation promoting the use of rain water, native plants, and organic gardening. The sustainable chicken display was delightful to see as many cities allow you to own your own chickens now and they offer a lot of "green" value for your investment. You can compost the chicken waste for your garden beds, plus having the organic chicken eggs every morning for your family is simply priceless!
