Criteria

- 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 the best vision for how they’d like to renovate their existing garden – and who demonstrate a commitment to seeing it through. Projects can be underway or just a set of plans with 100 words on what you want to achieve and why.
CONGRATULATIONS to parents Sylvie & Lachlan and their helpers Isla & Theo!
“We are creating a garden that has something for all family members and also provides habitat for insects and lizards. Mud kitchen, flowerbed, sandpit and swing for the children, a firepit, fruit vines and the main native garden. We have created this garden with sustainability in mind by reusing resources - concrete stepping stones from an old garden bed, star droppers and mesh into an archway. For long term sustainability we have chosen natives that have low water needs including several Eremophila's. We have also planted interesting bush tucker plants such as desert lime, Acacia victoriae and Saltbush.”
