Ep.3 Native landscaping - Ben Sims (Plants Grow Here, Ben's Gardens & LIAWA)

Ben Sims is the other half of Plants Grow Here, and in this episode we talk about native landscaping, which he has extensive training and experience in. We speak about reticulation setups, the similarities and differences between bird-attracting and insect attracting flowers, as well some benefits of choosing natives over exotics.

Check out his website, where he has an abundance of informational blog content, as well as his Facebook page, especially if you live all the way over there in Perth.
