Benefits of Planting Local Native Plants

Planting local native plants has many benefits including the provision of food sources and habitat for native wildlife. Local native plant species (that is plants that occur naturally on one of five soil types within the Swan Coastal Plain) require little to no soil amendments and minimal watering.

There are two main soil types in the City of Melville, being the Karrakatta and Bassendean Soils. To the very west of the City there is a strip of Cottesloe Soil and a small patch of Herdsman Soil in the south eastern section of Kardinya.  For more information about native plants and creating habitat suited to your area check out the APACE suburb selector, Waterwise Plant tool by Water CorporationReWild Perth, or River Guardians Grow Local Plants Brochures.
