We'll be at the City of Vincent Native Plant sale to answer questions about designing, building or retrofitting sustainable homes!
The City of Vincent purchases around 5,000 tube stock plants - all Australian natives – and they subsidise the cost of these tubes to residents of the City, as part of their green sustainable initiatives. A variety of species will be available, from ground covers and small shrubs, to tall shrubs, trees, climbers, and more. Please note that there is a limit per household.
Where we you on Jan 11th 2014? Hopefully it was somewhere cool because that was one of Perth’s hottest days ever recorded! Some areas were harder hit than others and the single most important factor determining whether you sweltered and melted or made it through relatively easily was not air con, the sea breeze or even whether you had a swimming pool. The answer was quite simply beautiful age old trees!
