Why save water in the garden?
Water restrictions are in place across most of Australia forcing us to think about how we use water in the garden. It is still possible to save water and have an attractive, enjoyable garden.
There are many benefits from achieving a water efficient garden:-
- Water efficient gardens can reduce your water bills and running costs.
- They can require less maintenance, allowing more time for other activities.
- Water efficient gardens reduce the need to build more dams, which may have to be situated in environmentally sensitive areas.
- Water efficient gardens use plants that attract native birds, making your garden a more enjoyable, relaxing environment.
- A water efficient garden directs water to where it is needed, so there are no problems with runoff or erosion.
- They are not only pleasing to the eye, they can also utilise the available space in the most practical way. This allows you to get the most out of your garden.
- A water efficient garden contributes less to stormwater flow, reducing the need for costly public stormwater projects.
- Water efficient gardens can be healthy gardens. By using the correct products and plants, you can maintain plant life and improve soil conditions.
