Almost everyone would like to attract wildlife of some kind into their garden - without a little wildlife the suburbs are sterile, lifeless and boring places. Fortunately, by intelligent use of local native and exotic plants we can attract a range of Australian wildlife into even city gardens. In the outer east we are fortunate to have so much bush around us, offering us a greater variety of birds, butterflies, mammals and reptiles. Additionally, by providing habitats for these animals in our gardens, we are helping local conservation efforts to ensure their survival.
Daniel, from Candlebark Community Nursery will talk on helping to conserve our local plants and animals in the home garden
