🛏Bedtime🌿♻️ | Lily's Garden - Educational Gardening and Sustainability

Lily's Garden is a magical world of colorful fruits and vegetables, buzzing insects, and beautiful flowers. It is a garden where Ellie learns about planting seeds, composting, water conservation, and taking care of plants.

Composting is a process of turning leftover food and yard waste into healthy soil that helps plants grow. It is important because it reduces the amount of waste that ends up in landfills and helps plants stay healthy and strong.

Fruit and vegetable scraps, eggshells, coffee grounds, and leaves can be composted. However, meat, dairy products, and pet waste should not be composted because they can attract pests and create bad smells.

Growing your own food is fresher, healthier, and doesn't require any packaging or transportation that could harm the planet. It also gives you the satisfaction of knowing where your food comes from.

Pests can be controlled naturally by using companion planting and natural predators like ladybugs. Avoid using harmful chemicals that can harm the environment.

Water conservation is important in gardening to reduce water waste and conserve natural resources. Using rainwater collected from a rain barrel instead of tap water is better for the plants and the environment.

Weeds and plant diseases can be managed naturally by hand weeding, mulching, and crop rotation. Avoid using harmful chemicals that can harm the plants and the environment.
