2. Native and Pollinator-Friendly Plants: We believe that gardens have the power to create havens for local wildlife. That's why McD's Garden and Home offers a diverse array of native plants that are well-suited to local climates and ecosystems. Native plants provide essential habitats and food sources for local fauna, supporting the natural balance of ecosystems. Additionally, our selection includes pollinator-friendly plants, such as vibrant wildflowers and nectar-rich blooms, which attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. By incorporating these plants into your garden, you can create a thriving and biodiverse oasis.

3. Sustainable Watering Practices: At McD's Garden and Home, we embrace sustainable practices not just within our product offerings but also in our operations. Our Galway Crystal Store, utilizes an innovative rainwater collection system. By collecting rainwater from the store's roof, we harness a valuable resource that is both neutral and ideal for watering our plants. This approach minimizes the use of freshwater resources and ensures our plants receive the nourishment they need while reducing environmental impact.

At McD's Garden and Home, we are passionate about biodiversity and sustainability. By offering organic and sustainable gardening products, a wide variety of native and pollinator-friendly plants, and implementing innovative water conservation practices, we strive to create a garden haven that embraces and supports local ecosystems. We invite you to join us in nurturing the beauty of nature while preserving biodiversity, one garden at a time. Together, let's create sustainable, biodiverse spaces that inspire and delight both humans and wildlife alike.
