Region: Australian Capital Territory (ACT)

The Canberra Plant Selector is an interactive selection tool, designed by the ACT Government.

The tool is based on a database of 342 plants. For each of these plants there is a short description, useful growing information and a photograph.

Using the tool, users filter the plants based on selected characteristics. These include growth form, sun/shade tolerance, frost tolerance, water needs, and others.

Users can choose between local and non-local plants. All plants in the database are suitable for Canberra climate conditions.

The Canberra Plant Selector is a very useful tool. I hope it gets expanded to contain many more plants in the future.
