Welcome to The Thrifty Eco Gardener.

This is a place where I’ll teach you everything you need to know to start a garden on a budget, while making it plastic free and eco-friendly.

I think it’s so important to make your garden a haven for not only you but also for the insects and wildlife that should be inhabiting too. With a slight change in mindset we can not only easily do this but make our gardens a beautiful, carbon sucking oasis.
