Planning and design
A beautiful garden designed with the right Australian plants has many special qualities. It can be home for a variety of native birds, animals and insects. It can display an array of colours, stunning or subtle, and tantalise with a variety of scents. Frequently, it has a serenity often hard to find elsewhere.
But where to start? This section shares insights on how to get started on your native garden journey, or how to reimagine your existing garden. The process commences with clearly defining your objectives, establishing an overarching vision for your garden that inspires you and assessing the needs of your family and that of your site.
