Sustainable Gardens and Albury Wodonga Garden Guide

The revised and updated Albury-Wodonga Garden Guide has been designed to provide you with local information and inspiration to create a beautiful garden that also cares for our environment, especially animals. It focuses on local native plants that grow well in this region. A garden of non-native plants can also be great habitat and be sustainable too. The ideas in this book apply to gardens of mostly exotic plants.
