Make your garden look different; select palms and cycads not commonly grown in SE Queensland. Choose from a list of 40 different alternative palm varieties (see less common SE Qld Palms (link)). You’ll be given this list as a handout on entry and will be able to look for examples to view (and buy). Also consider growing native and exotic cycads other than Cycas and Macrozamia. The new fronds of these are usually NOT eaten by the caterpillars of the cycad blue butterfly so look great.
