Energy efficient workshops
If you’re interested in learning how your garden can reduce your power usage, and save you money, join-in one of our free Synergy Energy Efficient Workshops.
There are limited seats available, so to reserve your spot now at your nearest location, book here online.
These free workshops are run through the Great Gardens program, one of the most successful community education programs in WA. Single sessions run for a few hours, at various locations across metropolitan Perth and south-west WA.
The Synergy Energy Efficient Workshops show you how you can use your garden as a natural air-conditioner. You might be surprised to learn how your choice of plant, where you plant it, as well as the location of paving and pergolas can all influence the temperature inside your home.
Come away from the workshop with some tips and tricks for reducing your power bill, using garden design and plant selection to keep your home cooler in summer and warmer in winter. There's also money saving advice on power-wasting appliances, and passive solar building design.
At the workshop you can also find out about the latest renewable energy alternatives available, including solar and wind generated power. We have sustainable energy options that you can learn more about through this website, including EasyGreen, EarthFriendly and NaturalPower.
Great Gardens has been a huge success since it started in 2003 — in fact more than 22,000 people have taken part in hundreds of workshops in WA.
