Hand and Heart—Wunggurrwil Dhurrung Centre Garden
Issue 81
The Wunggurrwil Dhurrung Centre is built on deep respect for Indigenous knowledge and culture, interdisciplinary collaboration and aspiration for the future.
When it comes to sustainable landscape design in Australia, the key messages are to plant appropriately for the varying climates. We look for gardens that are beautiful but also do the job required by providing food, shade, habitat, shelter and respite. Green minded landscapes use less hard surfaces so that they are more permeable. They are planned alongside the house to engage the occupants and work with sight lines. They work best when they are easy to access and draw occupants outside.
