Our Favourites

Species selection is by far the most important factor in the success of plant growth. Whilst there are several different factors, specific to your garden, we have put together a number of lists of our favourite plants which are incredibly likely to succeed right throughout south-eastern NSW.

A healthy indigenous native plant, chosen for a specific location and planted well will outperform any exotic or out of place plant. As well as their toughness, we have selected the plants on these lists because of, the beauty they offer, their bird and bee attracting capabilities, habitat creating capacity and low maintenance requirements (which means less fertiliser being leached into our waterways and less time spent pruning than their exotic cousins).
