Summer now approaches and plants are preparing for the upcoming wet humid season of northern Australia with most tropical plants looking their best in the months to come.
Storms, cyclones and possibly even floods may occur. We can all minimise damage in the garden by pruning trees, growing more fine-leaved plants (they appear to tolerate hail damage far better) and cleaning up the garden by removing loose debris and furniture.
This issue we look at how the public engage in gardening with Joanne Roberts' article on Friends of Botanic Gardens and Stephen Flood looks at philodendrons. |
