Australian gardening focuses on cultivating plants that thrive in the unique climate and soil conditions of Australia. This includes native species that are adapted to local environments, requiring less water and maintenance. Popular plants include kangaroo paw, grevillea, and bottlebrush, which attract local wildlife like birds and butterflies. Gardeners often use sustainable practices, such as mulching and composting, to conserve water and improve soil health. Many also incorporate xeriscaping, which involves designing gardens that require minimal irrigation. This approach not only supports biodiversity but also helps combat the challenges posed by drought in various regions of Australia.
