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 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
