Waterwise Gardening

The temperature went above 40 degrees on Saturday here in Perth. That’s 40 degrees Celcius which is around 104 degrees Fahrenheit. We headed to the movies so we could sit in a cool dark room for a couple of hours.

That wasn’t quite as hot as the previous weekend when we had 3 days in a row, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, all reaching at least 41. (106 F)

With our harsh summers, booming population and limited water availability, we’re having to be a bit smarter about the gardens we create. With that in mind, local gardening expert, John Colwill, has teamed up with our Water Corporation to create an online Waterwise Guide to Gardens.

I spoke to John this morning during my radio programme on 98.5 Sonshine FM. Thanks to our new Audio On Demand service you can listen to our discussion on waterwise gardens by clicking here.
