What to Plant in My Garden

Check out our resources for gardening in Geographe Bay!

Soils in Busselton, Dunsborough and surrounds can often be dry, sandy and water repellent, which can make gardening difficult and can mean we overuse fertilisers to try and help them. By using too much fertiliser contributes to making our streams and rivers prone to algal blooms and can even affect our beautiful bay.

The City of Busselton has lots of great resources below for gardening better to save you money and time in the garden and also help our waterways, and we also run events with other agencies so you can get the best and most up-to-date advice.
