In a recent seminar on sustainable gardening, botanist Ana Fernández shared innovative tips for enhancing plant resilience against pests and climate change. According to the expert, the key lies in the proper selection of species and farming practices that promote soil health.
Fernández emphasized the importance of choosing native plants, which are better adapted to local conditions and require less care. She also recommended using organic fertilizers and crop rotation techniques to maintain soil biodiversity and improve its fertility. “Healthy soil is the foundation of strong plants,” she asserted.
Another highlighted aspect was the formation of plant communities that support each other. “Incorporating species that act as natural repellents can significantly reduce the need for pesticides,” she suggested. The botanist also advised on proper watering, warning about the dangers of overwatering, which can be just as harmful as insufficient water.
Attendees at the seminar, mostly gardening enthusiasts and industry professionals, showed great interest in the strategies provided and committed to implementing the recommendations in their own gardens.
Fernández concluded her presentation by reminding everyone that, although plant resilience faces significant challenges due to climate change, adopting responsible practices and acquiring the right knowledge can make a big difference in the health of our green spaces.
