How to get excited by a new post+rail fence...! for an official #BeforeShot we checked out The ingenious #fencework that Council has built to expand #bushcare of the #endangeredecologicalcommunity at #GalleryGardens in #OldToongabbie. The area of #remnant #cabbagegum or #eucalyptusamplifolia has a rich #groundcover of #indigenousgrasses and herbs that need a lot of weeding during spring. We hope to boost the #smallbirdhabitat opportunities here and remove the #exoticgrass such as #ehrhartaerecta - and present a #featurelawn of the #nativegrassesofparramatta, including #paspalidium_albovillosum which a flat blue-purple grass and others that #finch and #grassparrots would graze on.

Chloris truncata - Windmill Grass Chloris is from the Greek word chloros meaning bright green and refers to the leaf colour. Truncata refers to the truncate or flat topped lemma in the flower. This low-growing, C4 grass is great as a primary colonizer of bare, eroded soils or disturbed areas. This species can be relied upon to produce short, green foliage during summer. #whynotnative #native #australiangrass #indigenousgrasses #nativegrasses #environment #erosioncontrol #biodiversity https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnhh-xrn6LU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ts9fxwrlz4dn

Bouncing back after the rain is the beautiful and greatly under-appreciated local indigenous Oplismenus or #Basketgrass. Forming a loose open #groundcover structure with fine runners that root at the nodes the leaves and furry pink flowers stems often fan outwards and climb half a meter provide ground habitat. #oplismenusaemulus #oplismenus_imbecillis (thinner leaf) #nativegrassesofparramatta #lawnreplacement #livingmulch #indigenousgrasses #parramatta #smallbirdhabitat #nofilter #seasonalgrass https://www.instagram.com/p/B8-NhSOns4P/?igshid=8jvg4ybvuk6m
