Department of Housing tenants from Brisbane's inner city suburbs who use water-efficient techniques to keep their gardens thriving through the challenging dry conditions will be recognised tomorrow as part of the department’s 2007 Water-Wise Garden Awards.
Housing Minister Robert Schwarten said the awards are a great way to reward the gardening and water-saving efforts of proud tenants from across the area.
“The Garden Awards recognise tenants who show pride in their gardens while reflecting and promoting water-wise principles such as using compost and mulch, and selecting plants that require little water and fertiliser,” Mr Schwarten said.
“The winners were selected from the more than 38 quality gardens entered this year by tenants.”
