We have developed this guide for regions within the Sustainable Farms project area (see map), which encompasses the NSW South West Slopes, Central West, Murray-Riverina and North East Victoria.

The plants listed are generally available at native plant nurseries. Local availability may vary, but the guide provides a range of options to choose from. We have also compiled a list of native plant suppliers and nurseries that will stock many of these plants – access the list here.

This guide was developed with the support of NSW Local Land Services.

This brochure provides an introduction to encouraging insect pollinators on farms, including a guide to choosing plants that will support diverse pollinators throughout the year.
