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.

Dreaming of a non-arid christmas

It's late December, and low to mid 30s celcius time. The other day, 49 degrees celcius was reached, although I forgot which region.

This is what Christmas in Australia is all about. Pretend snow, Agapanthus, white xmas trees and lights a flashing, too much food at lunches on days we refer to as 'stinkers' or 'scorchers'.

Christmas in Australia certainly beats being in the Maldives, the Phillipines, Africa, Christchurch, NZ (repeat earthquakes!), Northern Japan, and most of the rest of the world, at the moment.

Also, the caterpillar which crawled out of the the corn which I placed under the Christmas tree is living proof that organic farming is critter friendly! See photos of caterpillar wishing everyone a merry Christmas.

Our cockatiels were enjoying a good soaking with the spray bottle.
