After dropping Dr. Forgey off at Waikato College where he was giving a speech at a Sustainability Conference, the rest of us took off down the street to visit the "Sustainable Backyard" at Hamilton Gardens (just one of the many gardens there!).
It is a public park overseen by the Hamilton City Council. According to the receptionist, Hamilton Gardens is regarded as one of the "7 Gardens to see in the World." The garden displays procedures to create a sustainable growing system on a small scale, explaining topics such as composting, recycling, rainwater harvesting, etc. A very interesting experience indeed.
