Plant of the Month: Lomandra longifolia

Member of Wollombi Landcare, Andrea Lang has written a short and entertaining article about how to gather and grow this creek-side helper, so please enjoy the article and get your Lomandra on!

Lomandra is the backbone of many a revegetation project because of its vigour, ability to bind soil and stellar capacity to survive droughts and flooding. It’s easy to grow, you can even sow it straight into the land. Once established, it stabilises banks and waterways by forming a web like root system. It’s both bush tucker and a great material for weaving. And it’s a great place to live if you’re in the small fauna family.
