Tips for Sustainable Gardening
Aussies are ditching chemicals and plastic for a greener lifestyle with sustainable gardening! From urban gardening balconies to sprawling country gardens we're embracing a gentle approach to how we garden. If you have sandy soil or live in Perth for example adding compost, reducing irrigation and choosing hardy plants will help you on this journey. In Melbourne we are preparing for The International Flower Show in March 2024. I love visiting the display gardens and checking out the latest new plant varieties. Most now are selected for their drought & heat tolerance. So grab your trowel and join the eco-garden revolution – it's not about perfection, it's about creating your little piece of paradise!
