What's in YOUR wildlife garden? With this in mind I have embarked on my first on-line workshop based on ‘Weaving for Fibre Sculpture with Harriet Goodall’.

The sap is rising and spring is just around the corner. Continue to learn more about some of our local native plants that have kept us company in July.

Our inaugural Native Garden Clinic was held this month at Station Place, Pomona and was a joint initiative between Urban Wildlife Gardens and Noosa and District Landcare. There were four information stations, staffed with experts from both organisations, covering Native Garden Design, Native Plant Identification and Cultivation, Wildlife Habitat Creation and Weed Identification and Management.

Urban Wildlife Gardens were invited by Bushland Care officers Emma Smith and Renata Neumann to participate in the annual Planet Ark National Tree Day on July 28.

The following article is an outline of some the best backyard native plants to attract wildlife in the Noosa Area. The list focuses on plants that are suited to the scale of urban backyards. It lists habitat species for common wildlife in Noosa but of course the list is not exhaustive and all local native plants are beneficial to wildlife.
