Award Winning Sustainable Garden

Coolabah Landscapes and Yvonne Wells have recently completed a sustainable garden that will be used to demonstrate sustainable gardens to teachers, children and community groups. The garden, at the Gould Group centre in Moorabbin, was launched yesterday. Yvonne Wells of Wells Design Landscapes designed the 570 square metre site which includes such delights as a pizza garden - designed as a pizza and growing a different topping on each of the 'slices' - and a miniature grassed oval. There are lots of water tanks (of course) with Perspex downpipes, a section of permeable paving, solar powered pumps and fountains, a wetlands area, a bush tucker garden and many more inspiring and practical ideas.

This garden received a highly commended award for Sustainable Gardens at the 2007 Landscape Association of Victoria Landscaping Awards
