Part Three

For this component of the task, you will need to create a drawing (to scale) that shows what you’d like your patch to look like.

The space that you are working with is a 500 x 500 metre patch of space.

During your research of native plants, you would have identified what size they will be at full growth, you will need to take this into consideration when planning where to place each plant. This is important as you will need to allow space for them to grow.

On your plans include a detailed key of the plants you have selected to use. You can create your drawing by hand or Garden Planner
