Toowoomba Plants by Patricia Gardner This is the first book about local native plants in the Toowoomba area. Written by a local gardener, it explores the plants that were growing in the region before white settlement. The body of the book consists of a list of plants with descriptions, including how we can expect them to behave in the modern day garden. Common names are used as the plant headings, and the writing style is informal, likely to appeal to the practical gardener. Readers who are more comfortable with botanical names of plants will appreciate the inclusion of the scientific name and family of each plant. Highly recommended for anyone interested in environmentally friendly, drought tolerant gardens, which will attract local native fauna.
