Create a wildlife friendly garden
Gardening is one of our favourite pastimes and a great way to stay active and healthy. But what we do in our gardens can either help or harm the natural environment.
By creating a wildlife friendly garden you can:
- Reduce your garden maintenance costs
- Spend less time on upkeep
- Support local native plants and animals
- Make your neighbourhood more ecologically sustainable
Learning how to lessen your ecological footprint in your own backyard gives you the skills to make a difference in your suburb or local district.
A natural habitat garden can attract native birds, bats, lizards, frogs, butterflies and other insects. Watching these unique creatures thrive in your garden is a real pleasure and providing habitats in urban areas is a gift for the future.
Selecting the right native plants
Native plants are attractive and versatile, offering a range of shapes, colours and densities. With the right species, you can enjoy flowers throughout the year. They’re easy to grow and support the environment by providing habitat for native birds, butterflies and lizards. Being naturally adapted to our conditions, native plants are low maintenance, drought tolerant, and require minimal water or chemicals.
