Water is vital to our survival, and to the survival of everything that grows on the planet. Our use of water now will affect generations to come, and we need to start conserving it now.
Our gardens can be oases of green in the concrete jungle. They can provide refuge for wild-life, and a peaceful retreat for people in the fast-moving world we live in.
With our current lock-up-and-go life-style, our gardens need to survive with the minimal amount of attention, hence the focus of the Fair on planting indigenous plants. Plants that naturally occur in our area will thrive in our climate, and you will not need to re-invest in new plants every year. A small wetland, pond or bird-bath will provide a focus for a “room” within your garden, and you will be rewarded with visits from a range of birds and insects.
