Many of us live in towns and cities, where outdoor space is tight. These man-made locations are the very places that need trees the most, to bring cooling shade. Which trees will are small enough to fit? We've selected some of our favourite small trees to suit the space.

We dashed out between rainshowers to take photos of all these flowers, in our own nursery, on one day in July - to show you what you could be enjoying in your own garden in the midst of winter. We even caught a tiny butterfly sunning its wings!

Many of us live in urban or suburban streets, where outdoor space is at a premium. Which native trees will fit into these tight spots? We've selected some of our favourite native small trees to squeeze into your garden, however small the space.

Have you been lusting over beautiful foliage plants on Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest? We show you how to create the look of these beauties, without breaking the bank.

Camellias make lovely container and tub plants, as well as handsome evergreen hedges. They're long-lived and free-flowering, and some are even scented!

Our favourite deciduous trees and shrubs to give you autumn colour as the days cool and the nights lengthen. And for more tropical climates, our recommendations for evergreen plants with coloured leaves, for that toasty spice-coloured feeling.

To mark Australia Day, we asked some of the team here at Australian Plants Online to share some of their favourite native plants. Are any of our favourites, your favourites too?

The scented blossom flowers of buddleia are absolutely wonderful at attracting wildlife to your garden. The common name is “butterfly bush” – and for good reason. Butterflies lap up the nectar in each blossom, and on a warm day you’ll have your very own butterfly garden to enjoy.
