Thank you for this start. I am in West Melbourne and planning native plant garden for my narrow back courtyard strip and driveway side strip. Looking for a wow factor plus bringing pollinators to my garden

One aspect you didn't cover: When I first started planting natives, there were quite a few small bird species present. I've created a garden that is now the property of a large gang of Noisy Miners who actively drive off all other species, and are - well, noisy. I'm working filling out the mid- and lower story with plants that might discourage Noisy Miners and give cover for smaller, more likeable birds. Yes, also hate your music. Waiting on hold music from hell.
