North Shore - Speaker David Bambridge on going native in the urban landscape

Going Native in the Urban Landscape - Creeks to Casinos

A discussion of soils, plants and their installation issues in the modern urban landscape context where the project delivery factors such as time, budget, competing consultants, weather and seasonal cycles come into play.

The talk will range over soils for purpose, plant selection issues, procurement and installation as well as the care and maintenance of landscapes post completion to achieve an established urban landscape somewhat resembling the design intent.

Sites discussed will include-

• Rooftop gardens in Sydney CBD
  
• High rise residential.
  
• City Street Trees
  
• Restoration to creek lines in urban riparian areas.
