Planting native plants in your garden can help the environment, support local wildlife, and reduce maintenance. Native gardens are waterwise and native plants are more resilient to our weather changes. But more importantly, native gardens provide food and shelter for birds, butterflies, lizards, and other pollinators.
The Perth Garden Show will help and encourage visitors to plant and grow their own native gardens with the new Re-Wilding Perth Zone. Come along and hear from expert speakers, learn about why planting a native garden is so important for the environment, and get tips on planting your own gardens.
