Hi,

We moved to the Werribee area (west of Melbourne) about 6 months ago
and our garden could use some colour. I am looking for ideas on
landscaping and on what grows in this dry area, apart from weeds ie.
We have a very dry garden, frontyard faces east and backyard faces
west, and I am mindful of using tapwater sparingly + have two small
children who I want to keep away from harmful chemicals etc . Can
anyone recommend any gardening resources (books, publications,
websites etc.)?

I am totally new to gardening. Coming from Europe, I am astonished to
what people can grow in the neighbourhood, considering it is so dry!
Finding out the names of the plants is another matter

Thank you for your kind help!

Well there seems a lot of leads on google (YOUR FRIEND!!) under "Australian
native plants".
