Learn about raingardens and how you can do your bit for healthy waterways with Jane Edmanson.

Come and meet Jane Edmanson (ABC TV Gardening Australia) and hear all you need to know about raingardens and how they have become the latest in sustainable garden design. Learn how raingardens can enhance your garden and how they help to protect our local rivers, creeks and bays. A typical raingarden looks like a normal garden bed only that it features layers of sandy soil and are often planted with native species. Raingardens are self-watering and low maintenance and have become a feature to many gardens across Melbourne. Melbourne Water’s 10,000 Raingardens program is encouraging everyone this summer to get busy in their garden by building and registering their own raingarden to be part of the count towards 10,000 raingardens across Melbourne.
