My Smart Garden - Grey Water for Food Gardens

Water going down the drain is water wasted. But the right greywater system can not only save this water but make your life easier. You’ll water the garden every time you shower or wash clothes without even thinking about it! This session covers health and safety, and harvesting and distribution techniques for greywater, especially those relatively simple and trouble free options.

Please feel free to bring any surplus produce, seeds, cuttings, plants, gardening magazines etc to swap and share.

Please note that this is an event for Naarm/Melbourne gardeners only. If you live outside this area, please contact your council to find out what free sustainable gardening events are available locally. 

This session will be hosted at the Maidstone Community Centre in the Garden Room. The Centre is wheelchair accessible, including accessible bathrooms. If you have any access or support questions or requirements in order to participate fully (eg. interpreter), please let us know at least two weeks prior to the event and we will be pleased to assist you. Photos will be taken at this event, but there is an option to opt out on the day.

This My Smart Garden event is proudly presented by Maribyrnong City Council on the traditional lands of the Kulin Nation. My Smart Garden pays our respect to Elders past, present and emerging and acknowledges that First Nations peoples have cared for Country sustainably for tens of thousands of years.
