A smart way for people to adapt to the changing climate
My Smart Garden is a free program to help you:
- grow food
- shelter your home from the sun and wind
- create homes for local wildlife
- use water wisely
- recycle wastes
My Smart Garden has something for everyone and is simple, easy and fun. It has been designed so that you can ‘choose your own gardening adventure'.
As a Smart Gardener you will:
- receive advice at free workshops and events
- lower your food, energy and water costs
- access discounts from local gardening suppliers
- connect with other gardeners
- be rewarded for active involvement
A Smart Garden promotes a different type of garden: one that will help you adapt to the hotter days and more variable rainfall as a result of our changing climate. No matter whether you have a backyard, balcony or courtyard, you can benefit from gardening more sustainably.
