Move beyond sustainable gardening to regenerative practices that actively heal damaged soil while producing abundant harvests. This revolutionary approach, gaining massive momentum in 2025, transforms traditional garden maintenance from extractive practices into regenerative systems that sequester carbon, build biodiversity, and create self-sustaining ecosystems. By implementing no-till methods, strategic cover cropping, and soil-building techniques, American home gardeners can restore degraded yard soil to productive, living earth that requires fewer inputs while delivering superior plant performance and environmental benefits. What Makes Regenerative Gardening Different Beyond Sustainable to Restorative While sustainable gardening maintains existing conditions, regenerative approaches actively improve soil health, biodiversity, and ecosystem function over time.
