Planting the Seeds

As part of their greening efforts, some spa owners are growing organic ingredients in their business's own backyard. Grown in a small veggie garden or tiny pots of herbs, these ingredients ensure freshness and add home-grown flavor to a spa's treatments, skin care and cuisine. If you're thinking of growing your own spa ingredients, you don't have to go it alone. Whether you're known for your green thumb or struggle to keep cacti alive, these resources can help your garden grow:

  • Composting101.com
    By creating your own compost, you can give your garden the nutrition it needs without spending a penny on expensive fertilizers.
  • Gardeners.com
    Here you'll find a variety of how-to articles on gardening and the supplies you'll need, including prefab raised garden beds and insect colonies to control pests.
  • Greenspanetwork.org
    Visit this site's 'professionals' page to read Lisa Roger Sykes' overview on how to build a raised garden bed.
  • Organicgardeningguru.net
    This resource offers gardening advice and articles on everything from planning and design to pest control and planting techniques.
