I live in Sydney, Australia, so its humid with a temperate climate. I'm on my spring school holidays blaugh I have a big backyard that has both equal parts shady and sunny, although at the end of the day they all end up becoming shady xp I also like medium-low maintenance plants, as I am a high school student so I've got assignments and the like. Plants that are aesthetically pleasing, too. So, what should I plant in my backyard? emotion_awesome Thanks, guys!

I don't really know what its like in Sydney Australia, never grown plants there so I would have no idea?
Maybe try a forum on a gardening site for better suggestions? wink

Oh! I wish I could be a better help, but I'm not familiar with any Australian plants. I'd suggest having a budget and heading to a garden centre. Tell them you're looking for low maintenance plants and the cost. The garden centre I worked at had an older gentleman at the help desk that had massive knowledge of what to plant. Also decide if you want to attract butterflies or humming birds.

Good luck!
