INTRODUCTIONNative plants are considered as growing wild in a region at the time scientific collectionbegan in that area.Some wild flowers have become domesticated over the years and there somany cultivated varieties available that differ from other species.The interest of people is growing towards native plants but stills it is not been consideredas attractive garden plant. It has been found that some native plants can be assertive in growth.Various factors in the study are included that are required by Gardner to consider while plantingnative plants. It has been analysed that there is continuous increase in the demand of nativeplants in certain regions of Australia. Also, it has been identified that native plants are beingconsidered as emerging nice market in agriculture industry.Landscape architecture refers to the design of outdoor areas, landmarks and structures inorder to achieve environmental, socio behavioural and aesthetic results. Landscape architectureincludes the systematic investigation of social, ecological and soil condition. It also involvesvarious processes in the landscape and design of intervention that produces desired results.Report will have focus on the importance of native plants in landscape architecture. Theproject emphasizes on determining the reason for rise in demand for native plants. Theassignment include analysing the current native plant trend. The objective of the study is tounderstand the way landscape professionals view opportunities and elements of currentAustralian native plant market.MAIN BODYPlants are essential for sustainable landscape and by adopting native organismdroughttolerant plant lifeand edible flora is the easiest way to promote a more ecologically sensitiveland.Native flora refers to those plant that occurs naturally in specific area from which theyare originated. These occurs naturally without human intervention. Such plants have ability tosurvive in the soil and environmental condition. These plants have potential to provide food tonative wildlife. These plants do not require any fertilisation process and additional water. Theless watering, fertilizing and chemical requirement by these plants lead to prevention of essentialresources and that further results in environmental balance. There are two categories of plantswhich are Adaptive and Invasive. Adaptive plants referred to non-native specices. Invasiveplants are defined as non-native species that occur to the habitat by human that spreads and1
causes damage by situation of eliminating or destroying native species. These leads to reduce thebiodiversity altering features and characteristics of soil and increasing risk of fire.Restoring native plan habitat is essential in order to preserve biodiversity. Landscapedesigning have meaningful effects on the population of birds and animals. Gardeners can benefitbirds and other wildlife by selecting natives plants at the time of making decisions relating tolandscaping. By developing native plant garden, each plot of habitat becomes a part of collectiveefforts towards nurture and sustaining the living landscape for birds and animals.Using native plant species in landscape architecture assist in preserving historicbiodiversity of particular region and the country. Purpose of designers, landscapers, architecturesand gardeners include changing the look of an area. Native plants are naturally grown and suitedto the integral area (Mottle and Yocom, 2017)There are various reasons behind increase in demand for native plants. The basic reasonis growing population and communities. Another reason is public awareness and use of effectivemarketing techniques as the main reasons for increase in demand for natives. The native plantscan be used for various projects such as public garden, residential, commercial and resortlandscapes. Native plant can be used by designer according to give response to situation ofvarious type of project that include fire rehabilitation, mines reclamation, controlling invasivespecies, enhancing biodiversity, developing wildlife habitat, etc. It has been identified that mostof the professionals drive their revenue from sales of native plants.Various plants require a lot of water for completing their fertilisation process these and inthis process lot of water get waste.As native plants required less water in will lead to less ofwater pollution and further helps in prevention and effective utilisation of water resources.Native plants provides greater food a habitat sources to birds and other animal. Developingnative plants gardens leads to greater biodiversity, it helps in reducing disease and pests. Theseplants assist in preventing soil erosion and land degradations. It also helps in minimisingnegative impacts of greenhouse effect. Natives plants enable Gardner to maintain and increaseproductive capacity of land for longer time.It provides shade and shelter to all animals andhuman beings. It helps in protecting and maintaining the quality of water. Native plants providevarious genetic resources and assist in maintaining a distinct or unique Australian Landscape.2
