Gardening in Glenbrook
Glenbrook sits low on the eastern edge of the Mountains, close to the Nepean River. Summers are hot and winters are mild compared with the upper Mountains, with only occasional light frost. Warm-season lawns like kikuyu, couch and buffalo thrive here, and they need regular mowing from October to April to stay neat.
Many Glenbrook homes border bushland around the national park and the Glenbrook Lagoon area. That makes leaf litter, gutter cleaning and keeping grass short around the house important before every fire season. We often combine a spring garden tidy with a bushfire clean-up in one visit.
