Weaving Your Garden

Weaving Your Garden

If you visit the Cooroy library during June, you will see another aspect of what’s in YOUR garden.

The past year has provided me with a challenge. In 2024 I took an on-line course in weaving with natural materials by Harriet Goodall. It set me wondering about the potential of the native plants in my own small urban garden.

Mazus Pumilio (Swamp Mazus)

Mazus Pumilio (Swamp Mazus)

This native groundcover is a good alternative to grass in a shady area.

Mazus pumilio is a creeping groundcover native to eastern Australia, from south east Queensland to Tasmania and south east South Australia. It is a small, perennial herb growing to .1 m and spreading to 1m.

We have a stretch of ground on the southern side of our house that is in the shade all winter, so the grass usually dies off and the weeds take over.
