It seems to me know matter which way you look at it our cities, our suburbs and our communities are better off with the protection and planting of trees.
More and more research is showing us that trees can counter the dreaded 'heat island effect' by shading our sweltering hard surfaces from the full impacts of the relentless sun and they can also coax our kids outside.
Chris has been busy over the past few months and we're proud to announce the new book!
‘The amount of information in this book is astonishing and covers everything you need to know for
the long-term success of your property.’ -Sabrina Hahn, horticulturalist, ABC radio presenter
The Forever Project is delighted to announce its recent partnership with Mt Barker Chicken - WAs leading producer of free range chicken and stocks.
“This is a great coup for us”, explained, Food Theatre Director Chris Ferreira. “Food Theatre is all about empowering audiences that our food is only as good as the quality of the ingredients and the way it is raised and prepared. In our opinion Mt Barker has the best product on the market and so partnering with them allows us to continue to deliver through our demonstrations and meals the very best product”.
What a difference a few months makes. My plants that until only recently were bursting with verdant vitality stretching up to the spring sunshine are now looking a bit dog eared and world weary as they begin to bake in the summer sun. Of course, it would be easy to just open the flood gates and water with gay abandon to wash away those summer browns but we had set our garden a pretty tough challenge – survive and thrive on 50% less scheme water in what we have colourfully described as our “H2NO” diet.
When I grew up I thought I had ‘ugly’ pretty much pegged: oil spill, rancid rubbish dump, street brawls – pretty standard fare I would have thought. But boy how wrong a guy can be. It has been said recently by more than one politician that the festering sores of humanity, the blight on the landscape, are wait for it……windfarms! Seriously. Windfarms?
We may pride ourselves on being a hip, flashy city shaking off its dullsville status but along the way we are busy eating through our precious natural capital, stomping out a pattern for consumption and development of monster proportions….
