New Water Efficient Plant Database


New Water Efficient Plant Database
The State Government is actively seeking ways to assist gardeners to maintain their gardens using less water. With this in mind, the development of a new public domain plants database has been commissioned by Waterwise. The database will be a comprehensive listing of plants for each region of Queensland, which are considered to be efficient water users, or drought resistant, for that region. It will include all types of plants, from trees and shrubs to annuals and herbs, and cover both native and introduced species.These workshops are an opportunity for gardeners, nurserymen and horticulturalists to contribute to and comment on the plant database, ensuring their local knowledge is put to good use. The water efficient plant database is being developed for use by homeowners and industry across the state. It will be incorporated into an interactive searchable database on the Department’s website which can be readily accessed based on the user’s postcode.
