We have extra information on where to purchase native plants, guides on buying plants, planting, maintenance, and establishing low water gardens and an Indigenous gardens using local plants. An extensive range of plants are grown in the Canberra region or in similar climates which are relevant for in our conditions. Australian Plants are available from local nurseries and native plant growers in the region. There has been some improvement in the availability of locally grown plants and in the labeling of plants sold in Garden centers and Nurseries but there is calm a lengthy way to go. A very light pot indicates either that the plant has been too long in the pot or the mix is too light and will parched out rapidly. Pack the planting hole with water, and let the water unload away into the soil before planting. If additional soil is required it should be thoroughly incorporated into the instinctive soil of the block. These local form should be best adapted to our region. They are a selection from a much larger group that could be prosperous and bear both beauty for the gardener and habitat for local critters. This is something you have to think about with local native plants if you want a sure effect. That's why plant nurseries water their plants often.
