Smart water use in the garden Gardens are often the biggest use of household water. As our climate gets hotter and drier we need to get smart about watering so we can still have a luscious, productive patch while maximising this precious resource. Join the Patch of Plenty team at this workshop, where we'll go through the basics of setting up simple irrigation systems, get stuck into rainwater harvesting, and offer tips to optimise your water use in the garden. We discuss different forms of irrigation and other techniques like mulching and shading to support healthy plants in hot and dry weather. We will get hands on with different irrigation pipes and fittings, Bring along your irrigation questions!
