Australia has long been known as home to the towering gum and the gnarly banksia. Australian natives are as emblematic as they are adaptable but Native takes an old subject (Australian natives) and gives it a complete makeover. This book surveys the ways native trees, shrubs, flowers and foliage can be put to surprising and beautiful uses by some of the most creative people working with plants today.
Interviews with celebrated landscape designers, artists and gardeners – including Fiona Brockhoff, Janet Laurence and Tracey Deep – bring to light so many ways to celebrate the sculptural natives that shape our everyday spaces.
This richly illustrated book is the ideal source when seeking the perfect feature plant for a space of any size. With stunning photography of gardens old and new, this book captures the most creatively inspiring Australian plants and the people who work with them.

Industry Reviews
Sanctuary
"Native is a beautifully designed and thoughtfully set out guide to design with Australian plants.It is a rare plant book that makes you want to read it all. Often you just dip in and out. Native invites you to go on a journey of discovery, and to view and experiment with our native flora in a different light."

"A book that highlights the versatility of native species."
Megan Backhouse, Sydney Morning Herald
"A thoughtful guide for those wanting to create a piece of paradise using native plants. The authors incorporate ideas from artists as well as garden designers inspired by the foliage, flowers, sculptural forms and versatility of natives. Profiles of top plants for different purposes are useful, particularly for those in southern parts of Australia."
