The area was funded by a State government grant awarded to public high schools in Sydney.
The use of prefabricated vegetable beds x 4 along with aluminium seating x 2.
Solution & Approach
Tired old couch grass was replaced with Sir Walter Buffalo grass.
New vegetable beds were irrigated from the on-site water tanks, the irrigation was hidden internally inside the vegetable beds, creating a smart internal.
On site recycled bush mulch was spread out to define the new garden beds and areas.
The layout was designed as an amphitheater where the students could be taught as well as having shaded areas from the sun.
