Smart Gardening Ads
The savewater!® Alliance in partnership with the Nursery & Garden Industry has created four television community service announcements (CSAs) about sustainable gardening practices. The concept of the television campaign is 'valuing water' and promoting the idea of smart gardening, that will help us in the face of climate change.
Modern gardens need to cope with extremes and protect us from a harsh climate and these announcements are designed to promote gardening as an important part of peoples' lives, whilst encouraging sustainable gardening practices.

Put the right plant in the right position
