Australian Natives.

The question is often asked, "Why plant Natives?"
There are many good reasons, such as they will survive on less water, most of them will take more hot weather than their European cousins and the native foliage will not burn as easily as the cooler climate plants.

Native Shrubs and Trees

Native shrubs and trees planted in the right position can enhance any garden with attractive flowers, foliage or colourful bark on the trunk or main stems.
The flowers encourage many varieties of birds into the garden including insect eating species which will help control unwanted garden pests.
Place a pond or bird bath in the garden to persuade the birds to live in your garden.

Native Ground Covers

These come in all shapes and sizes.
When planting an open area you might like to plant tall, large spreading plants at the rear of the garden bed and decrease in growing size towards the front.

Remember. When planting close to or under low growing shrubs, select low spreading ground covers to prevent foliage contact.

Native Climbers

Our Australian native climbers are often forgotten about when it comes to creepers to use as a screen to hide that unsightly dividing fence or garage.

Narrow gardens can cause a problem where there is a wall, fence or retaining wall and where there is a need for quick coverage plants. Select the right creeper that is vigorous growing, medium coverage and little depth and very soon that position in your garden has been transformed to a place of beauty.
Native climbers make a wonderful background to a garden or can be used for colourful screens around the compost bins or vegetable gardens or over trellis to create shaded areas.
