“Native vegetation protects water resources and maintains water table levels, sustains biodiversity, provides habitats for native wildlife [and] provides NT residents with a sense of place and identity.”
NT Department of Environment and Natural Resources
The beauty of Territory Native Plants
“Native plantings provide habitat for native fauna and increase biodiversity…[but] bigger is not always better. Smaller plants that are well looked after will often outperform larger plants. Native tree and shrub species tend to perform better when they spend less time in pots and are planted from smaller stock.”
NT Dept of Education Planting Guidelines, 2017
