Planting for wildlife in your area

 Want to encourage wildlife into your gardens?

Or perhaps encourage them away from the house?

I have come across a site that covers all areas across Australia and is easy to use.

You can (for free) sign up and plan a garden with plants Native to your area, check these with your local Native Nursery.

There are fact sheets on attracting frogs, lizards, birds, mammals, butterflies, native bees, bird baths, nest boxes and how to care for your native plants in various soil types.

As well as a host of information for schools, educational resources and links to helpful, up to date information. 

So why not give it a go and see what you can come up with?

I found out why I have so many tree frogs - Lophostemon confertus (Brush Box)

and I thought the butterflies were stunning around this tree!

Local Provenance is the term used to describe native plant populations that naturally occur in a given area, so help protect our Native Bushland and look into what to plant where.

It is a small step that makes a huge difference!
