Ozbreed Webinar: Plants for Buffer Zones
Struggling to select plants that thrive in both wet and dry periods? With the increasing unpredictability of extreme weather, identifying a resilient core group of "buffer plants" capable of enduring prolonged wet and dry conditions is crucial. The team at Ozbreed have rigorously tested and identified top-performing species for these challenging conditions. These buffer plants not only withstand wet periods but also contribute to more efficient water conservation and enhance landscape aesthetics.
