The fiendish fern removal and slope stabilisation demonstration at Progress Hall highlighted the impact of garden escapes. Once a stronghold has been established by the Fishbone and Asparagus ferns very few natives can outcompete the water hungry and soil surface sealing ferns.
The Grow Me Instead guide suggests native ferns such as the Rasp fern, Rough Maidenhair and Gristle Fern as hardy frond friendly replacements…and they are locally found as well.
A selection of fire retardant and bird friendly plants was selected to replace the fiendish ferns at the Hall. Thanks go out to Robyn, John, Jacob and Andrew for the slope stabilisation landscaping of the grounds around the Hall.
