Get water wise with aquaponics sensory garden

During summer, temperatures of 35-40 degree are not uncommon in Lorn, NSW. The extreme summer temperatures would affect the plants in the school garden, causing them to dehydrate and die, especially on weekends or during school holidays when regular watering was unavailable.

Not content with seeing their beautiful garden being destroyed, the school set about solving their watering issues by creating an aquaponics sensory garden, using a Junior Landcare grant from the Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC).
