Lately, along with so many others on east coast of Australia we've been struggling with a lot of rain.... With more on the forecast, we thought it fitting to sit down and chat about how we're dealing with water management in our gardens. We chat through some tips on how to prepare for a large rain event, how to manage water during those downpours and what we're focusing on when we can't get outside.   

Check out some of our favourite resources regarding water management!
