Really cleverly done and it does remind me of housing from the Middle East which does seem more appropriate for the hot Australian climate than British style housing. It also looks really cool 😎
Funny thing, for a garden program to preference a human--industrial space that smothers yet another piece of the irreplaceable urban refuge for the other-than-human that your program, and all of us, should be speaking-up for.
@@FairleyTrashed You're right, we do live in a home. It was built on degraded land, from local materials, 150 years ago, and we have felt it a privilege to have worked hard over 30 years to restore the ecosystems around it. My point is that a gardening program is not the place to showcase architecture that destroys natural flows and spaces, especially of the species that make gardens possible. There are forms for urban living for humans that are far more hospitable for the other species who also need refuge.
@@JulianFoley your home sounds amazing and you’re right, privileged. We need more houses for the growing population. You seem to assume the backyard this house was created on was a positive ecosystem, rather than what a lot of backyards are, a grass and weed dominated space for clotheslines and sheds. This house creates inner city density (sparing the outer suburban sprawl that really does destroy ecosystems and drives petrol driven commuting) while replacing the exact size of lost external space through courtyards and roof gardens. The roof is an indigenous plant space that will encourage local ecosystems in the area. You might not think that’s appropriate for a “gardening” show but I disagree. I think people should be inspired by ways of creating eco systems within the built form. Not just on virgin land. But each to his own and back to the regular programming on how grow garlic.
Love the rooftop garden
We do too! Thanks for watching!

I’m sorry, do you not live in a home? Or are you one with nature 24/7?

@@FairleyTrashed Thank you. I am having a good deal of trouble with my garlic.
@@JulianFoley me too. Why are my bulbs always so small….. also why does it have to take so long!
does the roots not destroy the building 🤫
i gues if all you can design is a box, you can always use plants to hide it 🤭
