Know anyone who's created a special green space in a little place?
This year's Landcare Broken Hill Compact Garden Award judge does, and here was their 2024 selection...
Compact Garden Award – For people with small spaces, especially renters and people who do amazing things with pot plants.
- Clever choice of plant varieties that thrive in our specific environment (Arid zone) incorporating the use of plant species from this region.
- Innovative ideas and methods for successfully growing plants and trees in our harsh environment - for example, water saving strategies like mulching and composting to maximise water efficiency.
- People who have created an innovative garden in a small space that can be taken with them when they move house.
CONGRATULATIONS to Dixie Cardwell of Albert Morris Avenue!
Dixie was unable to make it to the Landcare Broken Hill Garden Award Presentation Night, so we caught up with Dixie the following day to deliver the Compact Garden Award prize in person. Needless to say, she was delighted!
“I’ve worked on this garden for many years, especially with my late husband Bill - I feel very peaceful when I spend time in it so I wanted to show people what is possible over many years in a small space.”
