Birds at the Boundary

Flowering shrubs and sheltered layers make the edge of a Berowra backyard a rewarding place to watch wildlife.

This Inspiration Garden is a concept design, illustrated with the help of AI, to show what's possible with plants suited to Australian conditions. Real gardens from our community are coming soon — share yours.

Flowering Shelter

A wide mixed border combines flowering shrubs at different heights, with taller plants at the rear. Dense foliage and generous spacing create structure without turning the whole boundary into a tightly clipped hedge.

Low Nectar Border

Smaller grevilleas and correas sit along the sunny inside edge of the shrub border. An open viewing path keeps people out of the planting and makes flowers easy to observe from a distance.

Flower and Foliage Clearing

A sunny clearing mixes kangaroo paws, daisies and strappy native foliage. A nearby shallow birdbath can be reached for cleaning without walking through the plants.
