By planting local (endemic) natives you can connect your garden to the existing wildlife corridors and enhance the survival of many local native animals by providing food and/or habitat for insects, reptiles, frogs, birds and small mammals.
 
There are other potential benefits as well:
 
  • If you match the plants to your microclimate/soil conditions then you may never need to water your garden
  • Some of our locals double as bush foods or have other indigenous uses
  • Some favourite garden plants from other parts of the world escape into our bushland and either replace native plants or are toxic to native animals; you will be helping to reduce this in the bush around Lennox.
 
 
Between Lennox Head and the Motorway to the west, Ballina to the south and Broken Head to the north, there are essentially 6 vegetation communities which flourish depending on soil type, how well drained the soil is and the site's exposure to sun, wind and salt. This means there are a range of species from groundcovers to vines, shrubs and trees which could be suitable for any spot in your garden
