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.

My Vision: Comics Go Green

I had a funny premonition the other night, as I finished a great autobiography by Barry Humphries, one of the cleverest, most creative Australians alive.  My vision was of Edna Everage strutting the stage with a bunch of native flowers eg Red Flowering Gum (aka Corymbia Ficifolia) which, by the way, does come in a range of stunning colours.  Gladies are out, and Gum is in for a Housewife Superstar, in my vision. She could have her own TV series along with other celebrities where they feature eco-tips in a light-hearted way.  What we need to do is inject a new spin in to sustainable gardening so the public don't see us gardeners (or greenies for that matter) as boring folk, whose only excitement is getting their finger-nails dirty, and dishing up a bowl of homegrown vegetable stew!
