Sam Bowstead opened his Brisbane home to the Gardening Australia team in November for a special segment on flood resilience.
Sam renovated his house to withstand flood last year, incorporating the principles used in practice at JDA Co. Sam’s home proved highly resilient in the February 2022 floods, resulting in significant insurance reductions and very minimal damage. Brisbane presenter, horticulturalist and all-round gardening extraordinaire Jerry Coleby-Williams toured Sam’s home in an informative interview about flood-resilient design strategies.
