Guide to Water Efficient Gardening
Don’t pay for more water than you really need – implement simple measures such as mulching, collecting rainwater and installing irrigation fittings so your garden is efficient all the time and green when the weather dries out.
The Importance of Gardening
Gardens, and the water to make them grow, brings life to our houses, our streets and our cities.
Nursery and Garden Industry Australia research shows gardens help people feel better, encourage social interaction, increase use of outdoor space, reduce heating and cooling costs in nearby buildings by up to 20 percent, provide oxygen and absorb significant amounts of carbon.
By following the advice in this section you will not only save water, but also money, time and our environment by reducing stormwater run-off and urban salinity, while still maintaining a rewarding and successful garden.
