Top Ten plants for a local indigenous garden

Are you keen to have indigenous plants in your garden and to contribute to local biodiversity of the Merri?  Here are our top ten plants.  We've chosen them because of their:

• attractive foliage, form and flower
• ease of cultivation
• adaptability to a wide range of conditions
• size - none are too large or wide for a small garden
• good value for attracting wildlife
• ready cultivation by seed, cutting or division

Thanks to the Helen Macpherson Smith Trust for funding the Habitat Heroes project. The 'Top Ten' plants are our Habitat Heroes.
