While some things about our home now can't be changed, built before I really knew much at all in the way of design and gardening, there is still much I do now to work with it. Out the front are predominately native plantings as this area faces South West and cops the scorching summer sun, my veggie areas are out the back which faces North/NE. Our block has areas of slope and so I've learnt to put in hardier plants at the top of those slopes. Solar panels are on our roof, positioned to get most out of the energy of the sun. I am still learning but have learn much through trial and error and observation. Meg:)
