Indigenous Plants of the Sandbelt

 

Indigenous Plants of the Sandbelt: A Gardening Guide for South-Eastern Melbourne is a practical guide to using the local native plants of the area of Melbourne colloquially known as the ‘sandbelt’. Over more than 151 pages, the book looks at the original landscape of the sandbelt region and the growing of indigenous plants. It also contains a comprehensive listing of plants along with a wealth of full colour photos to assist in identification. Published in 2002 and compiled by local naturalists Rob Scott, Neil Blake, Jeannie Campbell, Doug Evans and Nicholas Williams, the book acts as very useful starting point for revegetation and landscape projects, and at just $22 for AGCSA members and $25 for non members is an absolute steal.
