Workshop
Gardening in a dry climate
Brought to you by The Diggers Club
Your workshop
We are expecting a long, hot and dry summer and with an increasing demand on our water supply, we need to find ways to adapt our gardens to better suit our changing climate.
In this workshop you will learn:
- Learn how much water plants really need
- What types of drought-tolerant plants thrive in our dry climate
- Ways to optimise irrigation without overwatering
This workshop will provide ideas and tips to conserve and make the most of the water you use in the garden and to choose plants and practises that work with and not against our dry summers.

Julian is the Head Gardener at St Erth, where he is curator of the espalier orchard, the food forest, and the bulb meadows, and he is a highly experienced market gardener and passionate fork to fork foodie!.
The Location
Featuring over 4 acres of food, cottage and bush gardens each season provides different delights and inspiration to both experienced and aspiring gardeners. The gardens are filled with plants which thrive in central Victoria’s cold winters and hot dry summers. A huge range of daffodils, hellebores and other flowering bulbs bring the garden to life in spring.
Visitors can admire the colour and beauty of our perennial flower borders throughout summer and autumn with hardy, long flowering perennials creating an amazing cottage garden display amongst our Australian bush setting.
The Garden has been certified organic since 2008 and Digger’s range of perennials, bulbs and heirloom vegetables are grown at St Erth using the best organic methods. Seasonal produce from our kitchen gardens is served at St Erth café throughout the year.
