Native Gardening

At Booyong, to attract birds and wildlife Australian Natives have been planted around the cabin and gardens. We are so blessed to have a large variety of incredible birds at the property and would like to provide them with safe places to enjoy. The fact that we get to see them too is an added bonus!

Up until recently, we have been challenged by the presence of Eastern Grey Kangaroos , swamp wallabies and possums who enjoy eating the lovely young leaves of newly planted natives. This has resulted in the need to create protective barriers around new plants for twelve months until the plants are established and less enticing. A garden plan has been created as recommended in Angus Stewart & A Bishop's Book "The Australian Native Garden". I have done this by hand so it can be easily amended and to enable some time and creativity away from the computer screen.

We have been inspired by many sources so far including the local Greenbourne Nursery at Wauchope, Malcolm and Jenny at Boongala Gardens and our local environment at home in Sydney.
