Urban Wildlife Gardens

Noosa’s Urban Wildlife Gardens program and fabric artist Stephanie Haslam have joined forces to catch your eye when you visit Cooroy Library in June.

Canna lilies are showy and bright and love to grow in wet areas. They are looking very healthy at the moment due to the wet weather.

Although the weather is getting cooler there are plenty of native plants in flower in the Noosa area.

Urban Wildlife Gardens member Leonie shares her wildlife garden journey.

Urban Wildlife Gardens was fortunate to have Shaun Walsh and Shayan Barmand as presenters at our ‘Climate Resilient Gardens’ Workshop this month. They shared their knowledge and expertise to help us understand what to expect as our climate changes and provided practical advice about what we as individuals can do to prepare for these changes.

Lantana is a common weed in the Noosa Shire, particularly in the hinterland. There is also a close relative called creeping lantana that is more common in gardens.

Fran Tozer shares the beginning of her new garden journey after moving to the Sunshine Coast.

Find out more about these plants and see some photos to remind you of the never-ending weeds that compete with them.

Planting local native species in our gardens doesn't mean we can forget about their maintenance.

It was a pleasure this month to have Tony Wellington’s interesting and informative presentation at our workshop. It highlighted how privileged we are to live in this beautiful and biodiverse part of Australia and Tony shared his knowledge about photographing our wonderful wildlife.
