stjimi Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 (edited) Budding ethnobotonist here. Besides a few Cacti and some Acacia Accuminatas, I don't have much. Will obviously include Caapi eventually. Assuming one lives in a non-tropical part of Australia, What should the ideal ethno -botanic garden include? With or without a greenhouse? Keen to hear the collective wisdom! Edited December 29, 2017 by stjimi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeadStar Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Ive got caapi through winter here and i get lots of frost. You do need to set up a small micro climate for it though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obtuse Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Australia has a massive range of climates, and as such its difficult to be all inclusive. I have lost so many caapi's and other plants to winters and the wrong climate. Quintessential australian ethno garden, some good suggestions above, but i think if you keep it to Trichocereus of some sort, and Acacia of some sort, catha edulis, brugmansia, datura, artemisia, salvia, and other herbs. lophophora is pretty quintessential. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
