Indigenous vertical garden Algar thumb.jpg

Over the past few years I have been experimenting with garden design in small spaces using my inner city balcony as a trial site. I have had success with a vertical garden using recycled soy milk containers.

Long time IFFA member Penny Algar describes an indigenous garden suitable for just about the smallest location imaginable.

IFFA Nardoo Hills Bush Heritage reserves trip

Posted Wed, 06/02/2013 - 21:17 by tonyf

IFFA members were buzzing as they met in Wedderburn on a Sunday morning last August. The Nardoo Hills Bush Heritage Reserves we were about to visit are not usually open to visitors, so this was a rare chance for us to examine this remarkable place.

Butterflies and habitat restoration - a critical commentary

Posted Wed, 29/08/2012 - 16:01 by tonyf

John Reid’s article in Indigenotes 23:2 concentrates on the particular food plants of butterfly species, and advocates their establishment as a method of conserving and restoring butterfly populations. Although such plantings are a fundamental requirement, this is an oversimplified approach, since butterflies, like other animals, require much more than food.
