Smart Gardens take many forms: as traditional veggie beds, home orchards, rambling multi-layered food forests, or as portable, potted gardens on balconies, patios and doorsteps. And, as our climate changes, our approach to gardening must change too.

Our 2015 My Smart Garden Program Evaluation Report charted some outstanding achievements by residents participating in 'smarter' gardening. We were able to make conservative assumptions from the feedback we received from nearly 300 survey participants that they reduced their resource use by:

• at least 51 tonnes of organic waste;
• at least 87 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions;
• at least 2,574 kilolitres of potable water.

If you have a great story we can profile that could inspire others we would love to hear from you! Email us- contactus@mysmartgarden.org.au
