Gondwana Landscapes and Consultancy specialises in indigenous flora, native plants and low water use gardens, having worked with State Government for State Flora Nursery for 12 years. Our goal is to design and create a drought resistant native garden to suit our clients needs, or revegetate areas using cost effective low disturbance techniques. We offer a tailored consultancy service with the option of a report or garden plan to create a new garden or rehabilitate an area that needs some help to become wildlife habitat. You have the option of a free, no obligation quote for installation of an all-inclusive garden (plants, irrigation and mulch) based on your plan. Gondwana Landscapes and Consultancy can arrange for regular maintenance of your garden or rehabilitated area, taking care of weed control, brush-cutting, pruning, fertilising, natural pest-control, soil erosion control and identification of indigenous species. If there are existing garden areas that need attention we can advise or provide labour for rejuvenating old gardens with pruning, mulching and feeding. Revegetation can be achieved by using a process of assisted regeneration if native plants are already present or nearby, or by re-planting using locally indigenous plant species. A combination approach can work well and is very cost effective, especially where planting of tube-stock or direct seeding is used. Targeted weed control for fire hazard reduction involves the removal of standing weedy grass and woody weeds to leave only the native plants. This greatly reduces fire risk, while increasing the number of native plants. Mark Thomas is also available for public speaking engagements on a range of topics relating to gardening with native plants, local plant species and wildlife.
