Quite a few Noosa native plants are flowering and of interest this December and these Plant Sheets detail the more obvious ones. Local gardeners are adding more and more local plants to their gardens and the wildlife is feeling right at home. Urban gardens, council landscaping and surrounding bushland provide links that encourage Noosa's natural look.

After Eucalyptus, the Lilly Pilly is probably the most recognised Australian plant. More than just an attractive plant, it’s a valuable food source and there is a type for every garden.

Ho Ho Ho and Merry Christmas. I do hope you get the chance to hang some Mistletoe this Christmas. The romantic idea of kissing underneath it dates to centuries old folklore.

UWG would like to issue an invitation to share your Urban Wildlife Garden journey with all our members.

Open to see a selection of local native plants performing in November. Spring growth expands eucalypt trunks and peels off old bark in a riot of colour in the bushland that surrounds us. Notice how they gleam during rain storms.

The Hinterland Adventure Playground in Cooroy is a nationally award-winning landscape and playground. It’s been open for over two years and, as well as providing a nature based all abilities play area, it offers significant wildlife habitat adjacent to the riparian corridor of Cooroy Creek.
