LINKS AND RESOURCES FOR PLANT LOVERS

GardenDrum is an innovative and international award winning website for serious gardeners. I have a regular blog on there, along with many other plant experts.


Birds in Backyards – a comprehensive site for Australian birds, with an easy to use bird finder to identify your sighting, research, advice on creating bird habitat, and NEST CAMS!


A great way to find out more about Australian native plants in your local area is to join your local Australian native plants society. There are groups all over Australia.

For more information and links to the national group and your state group, go to my page on the Australian Plant Society


Bushcare and Landcare are fantastic community groups, dedicated to caring for our native ecology.


 

There are some fabulous specialist native plant retailers around Australia that I can recommend. You should be able to find most, if not all, the plants in the database at these nurseries. If they do not have them in stock they can usually get them for you. You’ll get great advice on your garden from these specialists-
