Perth summers can be harsh on gardens, with hot easterly winds, prolonged dry periods and sandy soils that quickly lose moisture. Join us to learn practical, waterwise strategies to help your garden withstand the heat while supporting local wildlife and reducing maintenance.

We will cover:

Maintaining healthy soils during drought conditions
Understanding and treating hydrophobic (water-repellent) soils
Waterwise techniques to improve garden resilience
Supporting native birds, insects and other wildlife throughout summer
Managing summer weeds effectively
Fire-wise gardening, including fuel load management and Total Fire Ban considerations.

You will leave with practical tips and local knowledge to help your garden survive and thrive through the hottest months of the year.

Hannah from Budding Concepts will share her expertise on creating resilient, wildlife-friendly gardens using plants suited to Perth's climate.

City of Cockburn residents can also enter the draw for a special garden-themed door prize.
