Your garden, alive with native wildlife

Find the local native plants that will grow where you are, see who they can bring, and leave with a plan for your own garden.

Three steps from your garden to a plan

  1. See gardens like yours

    Look at a courtyard, a backyard, a front yard and a larger block, each planted for wildlife.

  2. Find what grows here

    Find local native plants for your sun, soil and moisture, and the wildlife each one can bring.

  3. Make your plan

    Answer a few plain questions and get a planting plan to print or keep, with a shopping list.

Who might visit a native garden

Small birds that hide in dense shrubs, honeyeaters at nectar flowers, butterflies looking for the plants their caterpillars eat, native bees, frogs by the water and lizards in the sun. Each needs food, water and shelter.
