concept gives Provincial the edge

??Creating or remodelling
landscapes and gardens which are easy care and water wise and also socially and
ecologically responsible through the use of chemical free plants, best practice
techniques and sustainable and recycled materials and product selections is the
way of the future?? explains Lisa Roberts, Director and Environmental designer.
These principles and being on target to become carbon neutral in 2009 have
culminated in Provincial becoming a finalist in the newly created Social
Responsibility category. 

??We??re thrilled to be

Ecologist David Charlton.

saving
Canberrans from the scourge of brown lawns

With an extensive range
of contemporary landscaping and revegetation projects under their belt, the team
are spreading the sustainability message far and wide. Think of the Kingston
Foreshore Eco Pond, the Gungahlin Drive Extension revegetation and wetlands, the
John Curtin Medical School at the ANU, Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve; the first
ever native grass verge plantings in a new subdivision at West Macgregor and the
easy care, water wise urban plantings at Section 88 City Walk Civic ?? and that??s
Provincial??s professional handiwork.

The team at Provincial
are dedicated to helping Canberrans substitute their drought ravaged lawns and
gardens for environmentally sustainable, chemical free, drought and frost hardy
yet beautiful plants in innovative and creative designs. Professional
horticulturalists, designers, ecologists and landscapers enthusiastically share
their knowledge with customers to help them create better environments in
Canberra.

This all adds up to a
socially and ecologically responsible and thriving business contributing to
Canberra??s
economy and environment.
