With this year’s Floriade in Canberra drawing ever closer, the Canberra Institute of Technology (CIT) student designers are finalising their plans for the local Landscape Industry to bring their visions to reality. The students are designing the gardens because they have a passion to design and are excited by the prospect of their first official design going into such a public event, and the local Industry are getting involved because they want to support these budding designers.

There will be four CIT student designed gardens, built by the local Industry, and a fifth garden designed by a recently finished apprentice and built by second year CIT landscape apprentices.

To help with keeping the cost of the gardens as low as possible, we at CIT are asking for donations of excess materials that may be left over from jobs or cluttering up space around your yards. Primarily we are looking for timber that could be used to build picnic tables, chairs/stools, or platforms. Some of the gardens will be having steppers, so large format pavers, timber slabs, sleepers or natural material that could be used for steppers.

With the Wonderland theme running throughout all the gardens if there are materials of a colourful nature that could be re-purposed into something unusual would also be appreciated. This could also be any odd plants that are leftover or not the best quality for a job but could be resurrected in our nursery space would also be useful.

The materials can also be used, second hand or recycled, we’ll take just about anything.

If you are unsure of what you may have may be useful, or want further clarification you can contact me, Michael Blasch on 0401 046 716, or michael.blasch@cit.edu.au for more information; or contact Jarrod Poole MD of Landculture, and volunteer mentor on  j.poole@landculture.com.au or 0411 535 773 as well.

Over the next few weeks as we get closer to the construction date there will be a pressing need to finalise all the details so, please contact us as soon as you can and remember all gardens will be on display for the duration of Floriade, which if you are unfamiliar with it, goes from mid-September through to mid-October.
