Native plants are beneficial to include in our gardens because they increase biodiversity, provide habitat for wildlife, attract birds, butterflies and other pollinators, are adapted to local soil and weather conditions and are hardier and more disease resistant.

Join us for a 2 hour in-depth seminar on native plants with Emony Nicholls, where you will learn how gardening with our local native plants can give you a water-saving, low-maintenance garden that brings colour all season long. Whether your garden conditions are wet, salty or xeric (dry, dry, dry) there are native plants that will thrive and support great pollinators and our local ecology too!
