Designing With Native Plants



Formal:

Many indigenous plants are associated with grazing by wallabies, so can be hedged with dramatic effect in formal gardens. Low borders can be created with daisies and ground covers.



Courtyards:

Shade loving lillies, bluebills and daisies can be grown in compact courtyards, creating butterfly gardens or, with a pond, frogscaping.



Cottage:

Dense plantings using colour, texture, foliage and shape, create fascinating cottage garden effects with year round interest.



Natural:

Be inspired by the Australian landscape, and create an informal garden for yourself and the birds.



Mixed:

Well grown indigenous plants can be a useful addition to a general garden, providing a lower maintenance area, or plants for that difficult area.
