Assoc. Prof. Claire Farrell 

Claire’s research involves using plants to make cities more liveable through urban greening. As a plant scientist, her focus is on plant selection for survival and high performance landscapes, including green roofs, facades, rain gardens and Woody Meadows. Claire works with a diverse range of state and local government organisations, landscape architects and other partners to implement urban greening projects and inform policy. Claire leads the ARC linkage Woody Meadow Project which is transforming low maintenance plantings in Australian cities. Recognized for their innovation, sustainability and low cost, Woody Meadows are growing exponentially and are part of major landscape projects across Australia.
