Help your children embrace Australia’s amazing native plants with a copy of Aussie Native Plants (A-Z) – we have 10 up for grabs!

About the Book

Within these pages, you’ll find out about a few of Australia’s beautiful, interesting and useful native plants. They’ve grown and adapted over thousands of years to live harmoniously with Australia’s land, climate, animals and First Nations Peoples. These plants have some astonishingly unique gifts, and purposes that are not found in any other plants or parts of the world.

About the Author

After 15 years of a full-on, adventure-packed advertising career, Josephine (Joey) now happily spends her days creating web content for large organisations, writing books and teaching meditation. She also takes every opportunity to go on bushwalks with her family. This is Joey’s first children’s book, inspired by Cicely Mary Barker’s Flower Fairies. Joey felt it was time to bring some of the beauty and interesting facts about Australian flora to children and adults alike — helping them embrace and become intrigued by the secrets of the land.
