Summer has finally left us and people are starting to return to their hometowns after the devistation left from the bushfires. Already temporary housing is being organised and people are planning their futures so now comes the clean up, and the questions about how the soil will be and what is actually suitable to have planted around homes in bushfire prone areas.
As part of this Sustainable Gardening Australia - SGA are running a seminar about landscaping after bushfires presented by Dr Greg Moore from Melbourne University.
For those interested here are the details.
 Landscaping After The

If this is relevant to your work we would love to see you there. Presented by Sustainable Gardening Australia (SGA), in partnership with the Landscape Industries Association of Victoria (LIAV). Managing gardens and urban landscapes after bushfires is an important part of the recovery process.
