00:23 We love the great outdoors.

00:25 We like the idea of putting plants, getting our fingers into the earth.

00:29 And we love the idea of building edible garden, edible landscapes

00:33 and making these sustainable solutions in our backyard

00:37 where we can future-proof our landscapes.

00:40 We are obviously experiencing much more dramatic climate changes

00:45 than what's happened over the last, say, 20 years ago, if you like.

00:49 And some of what I'm going to talk to you about today

00:53 is about future-proofing our gardens

00:55 and how we get through some of those droughts, some of those extreme floods,

01:00 some of those extreme hot temperatures and even the extreme colds.

01:05 If we don't think about future-proofing our gardens,

01:08 at some stage we'll see some parts of it fail.

01:12 Hi, I'm Tim Howard, Floriade Head Gardener.

01:14 I'd like to encourage everyone to come on one of our garden tours.

01:19 Monday to Friday we'll be running a one-hour garden tour

01:22 with either myself or a team member, and it's a gardener's tour.

01:26 So I'll tell you all things about horticulture,

01:28 of how we build this amazing floral display.

01:32 We'll also run one more tour on a Friday afternoon at 4pm.

01:36 Check out Floriade Australia for tickets.
