Australia & New Zealand
Most growing advice online is written for a northern spring, and Australian and New Zealand gardeners have learned to read it upside down. agripure keeps Australian climate zones on every plant profile and a sowing guide for every month of the southern calendar, so nothing needs translating.
The guides below were written for Australian conditions — veggie patches by city, hydrophobic and sandy soils, fruit fly, possums, bushfire-wise planting and subtropical food forests. The plant database adds the species rated for the warm temperate band most Australians grow in.
Plant profiles list Australian climate zones (tropical, subtropical, arid, warm and cool temperate, Mediterranean); filter the plant finder by zone.
