Abstract

This project focused on creating recommendations for ALDI to implement sustainable landscaping in pilot locations. Our approach included research, interviews with specialized landscapers and academic experts, and data analysis. These methods provided insights into using native plants, supporting pollinator habitats, and reducing chemical inputs. Our findings suggest that ALDI can enhance biodiversity and reduce water and chemical inputs by implementing sustainable practices including using native plants, implementing educational signage, fostering community collaboration, and monitoring impacts.
