TIPS FOR YOU!

• Lambley Gardens are set in the hot, dry and windswept plains of central Victoria, where the soil is dry and crusty.

• The soil is improved with layers of organic matter that aerate the soil and hold moisture to encourage deep-rooted plants to penetrate and enjoy the nutrients.

• When your climate determines that rainfall is limited, as it is at Lambley Gardens, instead of a regular short watering, give your garden a long, deep soak four times a year, ensuring the water goes well into the soil.
