  2. Your Garden Perth is Australia's driest city so a question we get asked all the time is, how can I drought proof my garden? It is a question we love to answer, as there are myriad ways to do it. Drought proofing your garden basically means reducing the amount of water needed to keep it healthy, and this can be done in several ways. ●

  3. Stop Water Run-off One of the first actions to take is to stop water run-off. Soil can dry out very quickly and then, when it does rain, that precious water just runs off the top of your garden and disappears. ● This can be easily fixed by adding water crystals or other wetting agents to your soil. Adding mulch will help, too, by reducing the temperature of the soil, helping your plants survive longer without water, and reducing evaporation. Adding more shade features to your garden is also advisable. ●

  4. Introduce Waterwise Plants Another smart move is to gradually introduce plants that are more suitable to the local climate. And we don't just mean cactus! Agapanthus, Echeveria, Lavender, Straw Flowers, Kangaroo Paw and Geraniums are just a few waterwise plants, and we are happy to help and advise you with your choice. ●

  5. Reticulation Systems A professionally installed and maintained reticulation system is an excellent idea when it comes to keeping your garden green, and saving water.
