For those of us who love the bush and the wonderful wildlife in the Hepburn Shire, Grow Wild is an important book.
At a time when Australian flora and fauna are under increasing threat, Grow Wild offers advice on how to create habitat on your property to protect the local plants and wildlife and to help preserve the natural beauty of this region. With valuable advice for gardening in the region and a list of readily available indigenous plants selected for their willingness to grow under cultivation, it fills a niche by providing a publication specific to our shire.
Written in an easy and fun-to-read style by local resident and avid gardener Jill Teschendorff, this book aims to empower people to successfully include indigenous plants in their gardens and provide the special habitat needed by our local wildlife. The reward will be a garden enlivened by our local furry and feathered friends.
