Waterwise Garden

Use every drop of water to design, grow, and love your water-saving garden.

Truly successful and sustainable gardens depend on one thing: water. Whether you have too much or not enough, water is at the root of your garden, bringing life to plants, the soil, and biodiversity.

But with our changing climate, extreme weather events, and limited resources, how do you make a beautiful, useful, and long-term waterwise garden? Discover how to design a garden that will use water efficiently, work out the water flow in your garden, the key plants to grow for a changing climate, and how planting can be used to soak up excess water.

This is the ultimate guide to dealing with water anywhere you garden. Whether dealing with flash flooding or ongoing summer droughts, creating sustainable drainage solutions or designing a container pond, now is the time to make your garden waterwise.
