The eThekwini
Municipality Environmental Planning and Climate Orotection Department
is pioneering research in South Africa to enable the public to use
roofs as gardens. Heading up the horticultural and landscaping team is
Michael Hickman one of Durban´s most experienced and
longest serving horticulturists. Due to the research done people
are now able to plant up unsightly roofs that will help cool our
surroundings and offer a chance to protect many rare and endangered
groundcovers and smaller plants.
Bio-Diverse Indigenous Landscaping I design
landscapes and gardens that are Bio-Diverse as well as being pleasing
to the eye
Landscapes and Gardens that are Nature Friendly
I use my many years of landscape planning and design as well as
landscape construction experience coupled to my vast knowledge of the
requirements of nature to create habitat suitable for birds,
butterflies and other creatures to live and breed in.
I
always apply the basic principles of good landscape design to create an
aesthetically pleasing garden that at the same time satisfies the
living requirements of the target creatures that I would like to
attract. My speciality is to attract birds, butterflies and solitary
bees. I design and build Bio-Diverse Roof Gardens
So
let Ecoman design and create a garden for you that will
be a haven for wildlife such as birds, butterflies, frogs and lizards
in the number of species comparable to Kruger National
Park.
