Unley's Native Plants

Residents are encouraged to consider planting species that are native to Unley in their gardens to help to preserve wildlife and rebuild important natural relationships that existed in the bush land of the original Black Forest. Locally indigenous plants are easy to establish as they have already adapted to the local soil, rainfall and temperature They are also easy to maintain as they require little pruning or fertilising. Importantly, local indigenous plants require very little watering once established.
