This beautifully produced field guide is an essential reference for anyone interested in Australian native plants. Compiled by the editorial team behind The Living Australia magazine, this book showcases the diversity and beauty of our native flora, offering readers a practical way to bring the Australian bush into their gardens.

Originally published in 1988, this paperback edition runs to 128 pages and is filled with full-colour photographs that highlight a wide range of native species. Each plant is presented with clear imagery and informative notes to help with identification and cultivation. The guide is especially useful for home gardeners, bush regenerators, and anyone looking to select plants that are naturally adapted to Australian conditions.

This is not just a reference book—it’s a celebration of Australia’s botanical heritage. The plants featured are chosen for their beauty, hardiness, and availability through nurseries and garden centres. There is a strong emphasis on using native plants in domestic landscaping to create sustainable, drought-tolerant gardens that support local ecosystems.

The book includes basic cultivation advice, hardiness information and suggestions for using native plants effectively in a garden setting. Sized conveniently for use in the field or garden shed, this guide is a useful companion for gardeners across Australia, from beginners to seasoned green thumbs.
