On a hill with a view

This story is about Ocean Gardens (Perth, Australia), a retirement village sitting on a sandy hill with glorious views to the sea, and how they’ve been encouraged to thrive in what is a deceptively tricky location.
These gardens have struggled, often through no fault of the horticultural staff. Current grounds supervisor Shaun Brewer explains why he is using the TerraCottem soil conditioning technology.
“It’s hot and windy; the soil is sandy, hydrophobic and low in nutrients; and there’s no rainfall over summer.”
