Green is winning the colour award at the moment but tinged with all sorts of variations as the new growth appears.

As well as proving valuable habitat for urban wildlife, many native plants supply valuable bushfoods. Try some of these recipes to bring a native Australian flavour to your Christmas table this year (and don’t worry, I'm sparing the Kangaroo as I prefer it to graze in your garden!).

For my last article of 2023, I would like to highlight the wonderful volunteers behind the scenes at UWG.

The Scrub Christmas Tree (Commersonia bartramia) is coming into flower and will continue over the holiday season. Enjoy this and all the other forest trees that make summer bearable with their green shade. The wildlife wouldn't survive without them.

We are thrilled to announce that the Urban Wildlife Gardens program was chosen as the Winner in the Land category of the Biosphere Awards for 2023. The Land Category is sponsored by The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW).

This garden in a semi exposed coastal location has been transformed with careful preparation and clever plant choices to suit the soil and climate conditions.

Many of our gum trees are flowering now in Noosa. They are too big for the small urban garden, but get to know the ones near you. They are the bones of the vegetation in your area and indicate what other plants might do well in your garden.

Plant then mulch, or mulch then plant? This simple method makes mulching around new plants easy.

Urban Wildlife Gardens was delighted to be one of the recipients in the latest round of the Cooroy RSL and Citizens Club’s Community Donations Program.
