Story Title: Mitre10 Project Plan – Native Plants

Go Native with a little help from Mitre10

The Mitre10 Plans are an easy to follow guide to achieving a 10/10 result, outlining all the tools you will need for the job, including a material checklist.

Australia is a vast continent with many natural environments, from the dense rain forest of the north to the Alpine meadows of the south, and the hot and dry deserts of the centre. In each of these environments, many plants have evolved to cope with their surroundings. The large lush leaves of rainforest plants, for example, contrast markedly with the fine prickly foliage of desert plants. Their need for water and nutrient, and their performance for sunlight, also differs greatly. Due to this diversity in growing preference and habit, there are native plants to suit almost any garden situation, in any climatic region.

This MitrePlan looks at the many of the interesting and often strikingly beautiful Australian natives available for different garden styles, with tips on planting and maintenance.
