Tips from The Outdoor Décor Company - the place to buy water features in Kensington
Creating a beautiful garden which may include elegant water features but which is also attractive to native birds can offer you hours of pleasure. Make your garden come alive with the sound of birdsong and pass the time spotting different species by planting the kind of plants that native birds will love.
To attract native nectar-feeding and insect-eating birds, your best bet is plants from the Grevillea family. Some lovely variations include Honey Gem, Scarlet Sprite and Firesprite, which all offer the nectar and seeds these birds love. Honey Gem is particularly popular thanks to its dense and prickly foliage, which provides birds with protection from predators.
To attract birds that eat fruit and seed, you could plant the Syzygium Bush Christmas breed, as many birds are partial to the berries it produces. For plants with a wide range of appeal, you should consider Banksias, as they tend to attract both nectar- and seed-eating birds.
It’s also worth thinking about colour, as Australia’s birds tend to be more tempted by red and yellow flowers than other varieties, and you’ll want to ensure that you have a god mix of seasonal plants. Ensure there will be something flowering all year round, and it will be much easier for you to coax a steady stream of birds to visit.
You can also attract birds to your garden and or encourage them to stay a while by installing a bird feeder, birdbath or bird-friendly water features.

Tips from The Outdoor Décor Company – the best place to buy Planters in Perth
Keeping your plants adequately watered can be tough, especially during a long, dry summer, but with the right tools, such as self-watering planters, and an appropriate amount of planning, you can enjoy healthy plants with the minimum of fuss. Do your bit to conserve water without sacrificing your garden, with these handy tips.
Install an irrigation system
Irrigation is a great way to ensure that when you water your garden, all of the water is going to good use. Using a watering can or a hose can be inefficient and lead to water waste, but a good irrigation system will target the roots of your plants. You can also hook it up to a water butt that will collect natural rainfall, and help you conserve even more.
Make use of greywater
Greywater is the name for water you have used in your home for things such as baths, showers and washing machines. This can be collected with the help of a simple diversion system of pipes and valves and used to water your garden when fresh water is restricted. However, you should avoid watering your garden exclusively with greywater, as it will contain soap and skin particles that can eventually start to affect the health of your plants.
Choose self-watering pots
Use planters and pots with self-watering inserts and you’ll be able to ensure your potted plants are never over watered again. Great for saving water and also your time, these can keep your plants refreshed for up to a month without needing to be refilled.
