SUMMARY:Masterclass - Designing Resilient Gardens [Sustainable Gardening Australia]
DESCRIPTION:Join horticulturist Alistair Kirkpatrick for a practical\, inspiring session on creating a garden that can handle Australia’s changing climate. Learn how to use plant layering\, diversity and smart design to build shade\, improve soil\, and reduce watering. If your garden struggles with heat\, hail or poor yields\, you’ll walk away with simple ideas to get it thriving again. \nThis one-hour Zoom session costs $33.\nBook here: https://weteachme.com/classes/1046998 \nDo you have a garden disaster story—hail smashing your camellias\, summer sun scorching your tomatoes\, or poor pollination leaving your fruit trees bare and plants constantly dying of thirst? Unsure what to plant\, where\, or when in this changing climate? Don’t give up just yet! Join horticulturist and landscape designer Alistair Kirkpatrick for this one-hour online Master Class. Using the real life case study of his own garden and home\, Alistair will demonstrate the key components needed to make your garden more resilient to whatever the climate throws at it and how this can also impact the resilience of your own home. Topics covered include: \n\nClimate changes across Australia and what they mean for our gardens\nWhat nature teaches us: using plant density\, complexity\, and diversity to adapt\nInsights from scientific research and local observations about what truly thrives\nCreating shade and microclimates using both vertical and horizontal structures\nLayering plants to boost transpiration and support nighttime cooling\nSmarter plant choices\, thoughtful clustering\, and regenerative planting strategies\nWhy certain exotics—though sometimes controversial—might still deserve a place in your garden\nSurface permeability\, raised beds\, and natural irrigation techniques—and how these can help you reduce or even eliminate the need for watering your garden\n\nJoin us and turn your garden challenges into long-term solutions! \nAll sessions are recorded and those booked in will receive the recording link which is active for two weeks.
