Native Plants

Due to variations in landscape, soil, sun and some other factors, native plants can vary from area to area throughout Willoughby. Below is a list of native plants which can be helpful to refer to if you are looking to plant native flora in you garden.

About half of the area, particularly the higher ridges and main plateau has clay-rich, fertile soil. This includes Chatswood, much of Willoughby, and the more elevated parts of Artarmon and Naremburn. These areas used to be covered with Blue Gum High Forest, which is now gone except for some scattered trees.

See the lists below for local native flora, or for more detailed information, see the Bushland Plan of Management.
