The Gated Garden - Waterwise Tip of the Month

In South Africa water is a scarce commodity, so it is imperative that we find as many ways as possible to conserve this valuable resource. In the Western Cape winter is an excellent time to collect valuable rainwater by installing a rain tank and using stored water for your garden, or for washing your car.This will reduce your mains water usage, saving you money in the long run as well as benefiting the environment. If you wish to screen your rain tank, grow attractive shrubs or creepers around it or make imaginative use of the host of screening materials available at nurseries.
