You may think your garden is green already — but it could always be greener. Find out how at the Down:2:Earth (D2E) Festival, where an interactive Eco-Garden Pavilion and eco-gardening workshops offer ideas on sustainable gardens and lawns. The key, according to pavilion designer Risa Edelstein, is to forget the perfect grass and neatly edged beds and go for a look that Mother Nature herself might design. Look for displays on native plants, composting, rain capture, leaf mulch, and wildlife gardening. Pictured: Christine Destrempes, director and artist of Art for Water.
