Ever wondered how Coronation Gardens gets watered in this hot weather? Think the trees are all dying? Wish they would water more. The watering contract our local Council has with our garden managers Enable Leisure + Culture gives Enable considerable flexibility to increase watering at times like this. This is what they have been doing - increasing the frequency of watering newly planted trees to 3 times a month from 2 times and increasing the amount of water applied. They’ve also responded to requests to water last year’s trees (they have a yellow flash). That’s why they still have gator bags, those green plastic bags at tree bases which store water. Enable has upped its general watering schedule to 3 times per month.
