Sustainable Garden Design by Eckersley-2010 Garden Inspiration
As we know that climate change is having a real impact on the way people are approaching garden making in Australia. There needs to be a change in attitude toward gardens if they are to be successful in the future. Eckersley Garden Architecture was start a personal project by an experimental attempt to create a fully sustainable garden. The motivation is to change public attitude to sustainable, drought tolerant, native gardens. On completion, this garden is proposed as a teaching tool to encourage lateral thinking about gardening in the driest inhabited continent on the Earth.

There is a long standing prejudice against the use of native plants – probably born of the 1970’s when many bad native garden were put in place. But horticulture has moved on since and there are many exciting, colourful, drought tolerant plants in the market place and they can be used in place of traditional exotic plants.
The ‘Natural Pool’ also follows sustainable design principles, It is laid out in a traditional rectangular design and built with traditional materials. There is not any of the chemicals material in the water that are traditionally used to keep water clean and healthy. Better, it relies on a natural filtration system which runs the water through the roots of native water plants growing alongside the swimming area. The pool provides habitat wildlife and is like jumping into a crystal clear freshwater billabong.
