It’s not only by harvesting rainwater, recycling grey water and mulching more than ever before that gardeners are breathing life into drought-affected gardens. Increasingly, Australian native plants are becoming the clear choice for their drought-resistant characteristics, not to mention the wide variety of colours, sizes and aromatic foliage available. Add to this a tough nature and fast growth rates and Australian native plants make a lot of sense.

Choosing the right Australian native plants

Australia’s size means we have a variety of different climates, so it’s worth getting some expert advice on your choice of Australian native plants and their suitability for your region. Of course, many Australian native plants are hardy enough to grow anywhere!
