Discover the joys of sustainable gardening through a series of engaging video presentations designed to inspire and educate. These sessions cover topics like habitat gardening, nature strip planting, and cooling your garden with shade and water, all aimed at helping you create a greener, more wildlife-friendly garden.
Learn practical tips on growing food, sheltering your home, supporting native plants and animals, conserving water, and reducing waste. These videos are perfect for parents looking to involve their children in eco-friendly gardening activities.
Enjoy expert insights from horticulturists, conservationists, and researchers who share their passion and knowledge to help you transform your outdoor spaces sustainably.
The program includes recorded presentations such as:
- Habitat Gardening with AB Bishop, focusing on creating mini-habitats for local wildlife.
- Nature Strip Planting with Emma Cutting, guiding you through preparing and planting nature strips to attract pollinators.
- Cooling Your Garden with Shade and Water by Professor Stephen Livesley, explaining urban cooling techniques through trees and irrigation.
Each video offers detailed guidance, practical steps, and inspiration to help you implement sustainable gardening practices at home.
These resources are part of the My Smart Garden community education program, run collaboratively by partner councils in metropolitan Naarm/Melbourne.
