Anna’s drought tolerant garden paradise

See how this sustainable Adelaide Hills garden has been drought-proofed to save on water during dry summers.

Anna and her husband Eugene Taddeo bought a "renovator's delight" property and while they upgraded the house, there was no garden to speak of. Five years on, the fruits of their labour are obvious.
"Living in Adelaide, we wanted to make a waterwise garden and one that could cope with our hot, dry summers," Anna says. It's been four years since the garden was planted and now the trees are starting to provide the shade Anna craved, while maintaining the brief of being "child and dog" friendly.
