Climate safe garden design to shelter your home
Learn how to create a more comfortable and safe home with a garden that shelters you from extreme weather – and cuts your energy bills! This session explores how our climate is changing in Naarm/Melbourne, patterns of sun and wind throughout the year, and how to conduct a site analysis for your property. Learn how a smart landscaping design can lower your indoor air temperature during summer while keeping you warm in winter, and see examples of practical landscaping strategies including renter-friendly options.
PLUS We will also launch our new My Smart Garden Sustainable Gardening Handbook!
