My Smart Garden is a collaboration between Hobsons Bay, Maribyrnong and Moonee Valley City Councils, and aims to mitigate climate change impacts and increase the health, wellbeing and resilience of our residents by helping them to produce fruit and veg, shade their houses with deciduous trees, recycle wastes and provide habitat. There are some great lessons to be shared about the potential of food production in urban backyards and how councils can work together to deliver these programs efficiently.
