Some of my earliest and happiest memories are of being in gardens and watching plants grow. Nothing has changed for me. So this website is all about sharing my love of plants with you.

As well as finding a wealth of information on Australian plants, there are numerous videos and articles on a wealth of other gardening topics to help you grow better plants, whatever their origin.
