Greg's Indigenous Plants & Landscapes

Environmentally friendly landscapes.

" The exotic vegetation that replaces indigenous plant communities in urbanising regions, disassociates us from the rhythms and diversity of the native landscape
and a sense of the place; and we are the poorer because of it."

Michael Hough, Professor of Landscape Architecture, York University, Canada
