Without the buzzards and bees

Where would we bee?

A blog by Nicolle Kuna

A blog about sustainable landscaping and some eco-humour and eco-creativity.

Inside this blog we look at everything that is encroaching in to our natural urban landscapes – outdoor rooms (errchkem), weeds, urban noise, excess nutrientsThere’s a bit of art to add extra colour and inspiration. We believe in making sustainability fun - more gaming, less shaming.

Trees clean out more than just the air

Thanks go to my friend Alan M for this great shot!!

day with winds we won't forget

I drove down past the Otway Ranges, running some workshops (one of the jobs I do) earlier this week, and I have to say our timber and dairy country down that way is really to die for. With all this rain, it was so lush and idyllic.

On my return I feel so reinvigorated (and my walks weren't very long!) There really is something in the air out that way that cleans you out. Actually, the atmosphere reminded me of a Twin Peaks film, minus the log lady and the owls.

Highly recommended. The air just isn't like anything we get in the city. Please note that the photo isn't actually a shot of the Otways, but from Kinglake.
