Josh’s garden is now 10 years old and has had time to mature and settle into its own microclimates. But now there are gaps between the mature plantings as changing conditions have taken their toll on some plants, creating more shade and drier conditions. Josh is going to add some fillers into the verge garden, which is especially dry and is in need of some love. He has some low-growing Calothamnus quadrifidus cv.

Josh looks at how local plant nurseries can be a big part of a gardener’s journey. The APACE nursery in Fremantle started out in life at about the same time that Josh began gardening, in the early 1980s. It was started by a group of local volunteers and has always followed a goal of bringing people together as well as greening the planet. General manager Joanna Hayter AO heads up the team and says the vision they have is for a greener, more connected planet.
