XavierDass Posted December 18, 2019 Looking to start building my native scented garden as well as screening out some neighbours that have too much of a view into my yard. I've got a lot of space and boundary to cover, so any of your top recommendations are welcome. I figure this could work as a neat reference for others doing the same. So far I have a couple varieties of callistemon, grevillea, and some lilly pilly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ph7 Posted December 20, 2019 A nice wattle, native to your location. Fast growing screen and scented flowers! Also being a Nitrogen fixer I like to plant leafy greens/spinach etc around the base as a ground cover 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XavierDass Posted December 20, 2019 Wattle as a privacy is a good idea! Got some seeds as well, so I might buy tube stock until I get a chance to germinate. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Halcyon Daze Posted March 1, 2020 Did anyone mention Pittosporum undulatum and Hymenosporum flavum. Both are easy to grow and have very nice perfumes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
