Preparing the Garden for Summer with Sustainable Holly

Prepare Your Garden to Thrive Through Perth's Summer

Perth’s hot summers can be tough on our edible gardens, but what if your garden could become more resilient every year?

Join Sustainable Holly for a practical talk on preparing your garden for Perth’s summer heat, from choosing plants suited to our climate and creating living shade to using support plants, ground covers, soil care, and simple ways to protect your garden when temperatures rise.

Come away with ideas you can put into action now to make your garden more productive, resilient and stress-free this summer.

Come early and get free seasonal seeds at our Sow & Grow session! See Event Here.

Holly has transformed her sandy backyard into an abundant food forest and taken everyone along for the journey on her YouTube and Instagram
