Thinking of planting a native or low flammable garden?

Our guides are designed to help you create healthy, attractive gardens using native plants that thrive in the local conditions of the Adelaide Hills Council region.

Native plants are attractive, with a range of forms, colours and densities, and with the right species you can have a flowering garden all year round.

They offer great benefit to the local natural environment as they are easy to grow and are naturally adapted to suit local conditions, making them low maintenance, drought and frost tolerant, requiring minimal water and no fertilisers or pesticides. They also provide valuable habitat for native birds, butterflies, mammals and lizards.

Take a walk through the garden at The Summit Community Centre in Norton Summit and see the range of low flammable plants in the garden. We have produced a flyer, available at the Summit Community Centre to give you more information about the plants there.
