Given the fact that in recent years the availability of water has become a grave problem both for crop production and the survival and development of many populations worlwide.
As a garden designer I see water being used to create "Green beauty" around our homes ie rolling english lawns and swimming pools. "Thirsty" plants have been carelessly thrown around our homes requiring the use of sprinkler systems and hours of wasteful watering.
I belive that by changing our attitudes towards our way of gardening we can easily save both thousands of litres of water annually and hours of time spent watering instead of actually enjoying our green spaces!
I have been working in Italy for the past 10 years where many
regions cannot afford irrigation both in financial terms and for the shortage
of water. The explosion of tourism as created the need for swimming pools, lawns
and colourful flower borders. Therefore I have developed a very simple system
which can save money on the intallation of expensive sprinkler systems. This
system can save upto 80% of maintenance both of
the irrigation system itself and time consuming mowing and lawn maintenence.
50% less installment costs
80% less water consumption
80% less maintenence costs
and no more mowing!!
These are the advantages of using my system of which an example has been shown from the beginning of construction to the final effect. This particular garden is in a 500 year old courtyard and proves that a charming effect can be reached even in an ancient surrounding. Click here to see an example.
Once established this garden can easily be left, without maintenence even during the summer months rendering it ideal for holiday homes, agrotourism and hotels.
I look forward to being able to solve your problem!
