Growing Native Plants to Futureproof the Garden

Join us at Harmony for a special workshop with renowned Australian horticulturist and plant breeder Angus Stewart, as he explores how growing native plants can help futureproof our gardens.

With our climate changing and gardens facing increasing challenges from heat, drought and extreme weather, choosing resilient plants has never been more important. Angus will share his extensive knowledge of Australian native plants, including how to select varieties that thrive in our conditions, use less water and support local wildlife and biodiversity.

Angus is well known for his innovative native plant breeding, particularly his work with kangaroo paws, including his Tall and Tough range. He will explore some of the exciting developments in native plant breeding, including new varieties, improved resilience, vibrant colours and plants that bring year-round interest to the garden.

Discover how native plants can transform your garden into a beautiful, sustainable and wildlife-friendly space, with practical advice on plant selection, garden design and creating landscapes that are better equipped for the future.

Whether you're an experienced gardener, a native plant enthusiast or just starting out, this is a fantastic opportunity to learn from one of Australia's leading horticulturists, gain fresh inspiration and take home ideas for your own garden.

Date: Saturday 28 November

Location: Harmony Garden Centre, Lauderdale

We look forward to welcoming Angus to Harmony for an inspiring morning of native gardening.
