Creating a garden with Australian native plants can be very rewarding and a lot of fun. Growing and maintaining natives is essentially very simple. However there are some basic guidelines that need to be followed to avoid frustration, and the unnecessary loss of plants. In this book the basic requirements are identified in a simple and practical way and some suggestions to further develop your garden once it has been established are offered. A simple checklist at the end of each chapter provides a ready reference, and guidelines for propagating plants are included.
