Understanding more about your soil,
careful selection of plants and the
introduction of water conservation
principles to your garden will mean
that the time, money and effort you put
into your garden will result in a healthier,
more interesting one that is appropriate
for our dry climate.
Your waterwise garden will also provide
multiple environmental benefits including:
preserving water, which is our most
precious resource;
reducing the spread of
environmental weeds through
careful plant selection;
lowering groundwater levels, thus
helping to control urban salinity;
and
reducing the amount of pesticides
used on the garden, through
healthier soil and plants.
