Lower inputs, higher resilience
Native plants have evolved with Australian soils, drought, and local insects. Once established, they need far less water and fertiliser than exotics.
Feed pollinators
Banksias, grevilleas, and bottlebrushes bring birds and native bees into your garden, which helps fruit and vegetable production too.
