Ep.67 How to use native grasses for amenity & habitat in your gardens - Ben Courtice (Ecologist, Botanist, Bush Regenerator)

Ben Courtice is an ecologist, botanist and bush regenerator working for a company on behalf of council around the Melbourne area, and he knows native grasses. In this episode, he shares his wisdom so that we can approach this type of plant with confidence. There are a range of habitat and amenity services that our native Aussie grasses can provide, so there's really no excuse to use invasive ornamental grasses in our gardens any more.EPISODE LINKSFollow Ben on Twitter: https://twitter.com/bencourticeVic Flora: https://vicflora.rbg.vic.gov.au/Nativeseeds.com.au: https://nativeseeds.com.au/Seeding Victoria: https://www.seedingvictoria.com.au/Victorian Indigenous Nurseries Co Op (VINC) in Fairfield: https://www.vinc.net.au/La Trobe University's Nangak Wildlife Sanctuary: https://www.latrobe.edu.au/wildlifeNewport Lakes Native Nursery: https://www.facebook.com/NewportLakesNativeNurserySt Kilda Indigenous Co Op Nursery (and Westgate Biodiversity): https://westgatebiodiversity.org.au/our-histories/skinc/Bruce Pascoe's Dark Emu book: https://www.booktopia.com.au/dark-emu-bruce-pascoe/book/9781921248016.htmlAbout native grass beer: https://craftypint.com/news/2511/dark-emu-telling-stories-with-beer FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIATwitter: @PlantsGrowHere / Facebook: @PlantsGrowHerePodcast - Join our Facebook group!VISIT OUR WEBSITEwww.PlantsGrowHere.comLET'S WORK TOGETHERAre you in the industry or an enthusiast with something of value to share?
