Welcome to my native garden blog.

Our street verge garden is now in its fourth year, and plants like this Banksia ashbyi are starting to mature and produce some spectacular flowers.

Its hard to imagine that fewer than four years ago our street verge was totally empty except for a few dusty weeds, some scrappy cooch grass, and an old Eucalyptus tree.

Its now more like a woodland than anything else!  

The idea of this blog is to document that transformation. When I get a chance I will also record interesting goings-on on the verge and discuss what's worked and what hasn't.

I hope the pictures of the amazing plants that can be grown so easily will encourage you to reconsider the size of your lawn, to think about pulling out a few rosebushes and.... to go native!
