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. View this webinar to learning more about Ozbreed's research and plants proven to survive in these tricky situations.
