22.01.2022 Do you live in one of the new estates in Cowes and have recycled water? We need you! The Phillip Island Landcare Group is partnering with Westernport Water on a gardening with recycled water project. We are looking for 1 or 2 houses located in the new estates that have the purple pipes connected. The houses will become demonstration sites for the use of recycled water. It doesn't matter what stage your garden is up to and your commitment to the project will be minimal. Please contact David Rooks 0418 115 935 if you're interested or have any questions.
