Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or just starting out, you’ll find plants that attract butterflies and provide habitat for small animals and insects.
You can choose from a variety of native species including the Showy Podolepis, Grass-leaved trigger plant, and Austral stork’s bill. Each plant is selected for its beauty and ecological benefits, making this giveaway a great way to contribute to a greener environment.
Bring your family along for a morning of outdoor fun and learning, and take home a piece of nature to nurture in your own garden.
