Urban Jungle
Sophie Thompson of Gardening Australia described our garden as an urban jungle. Despite decreasing rainfall and rising temperatures, we produce a third of our own food and keep our home comfortable and energy efficient. The joy of living in this environment comes from listening to the frogs and birds while enjoying delicious, seasonal produce from the garden. An urban jungle may appear chaotic, but it involves a great deal of design, planning, soil management, learning from failures, and managing drought and extreme heat. How do we do it? Come and share our journey.
