Symphy Huggins has always loved the outdoors, but it's only been in the past five years she's turned her hand to gardening — and she has found native plants are great at replacing the traditional English garden styles.
Volunteers also help customers choose the right plant for the right location, and give advice about how to care for native plants.
Their small garden is near a bush reserve and they hope it will help connect other reserves and native gardens, and be part of a habitat corridor.Mr Muyt has a background in indigenous horticulture in Melbourne, which evolved into roles in bush land management and re-vegetation. He is passionate about providing habitat, but also championing the beauty of native plants.
"They are so subtle often but they can also be very, very beautiful, and you know you're going to be benefiting the local environment by using them."Mr Muyt is also involved with Moonah Nature Mates, a community group that aims to improve public open space by planting natives, weeding and encouraging the growth of native species.
