This project is a pioneering study of the history and meanings of growing Australian native plants. It asserts the importance of the garden in ensuring an environmentally sustainable future and argues that in order to promote more environmentally responsible gardening practices, the history of Australian cultural attitudes towards native gardens must be understood, as must the ongoing resistance to gardening with native plants. The project will advance the national and international debate from one concerned with "native plant vs exotic" and "indigenous plant vs weed" to one in which the cultural ideas invested in different gardening practices can be recognised and new ways of imagining and transforming gardening practice established.

这个项目是对种植澳大利亚本土植物的历史和意义的开创性研究。它肯定了花园在确保环境可持续的未来方面的重要性，并辩称，为了促进更多对环境负责的园艺做法，必须了解澳大利亚对本土花园的文化态度的历史，以及对使用本土植物园艺的持续抵制。该项目将推动国内和国际上的辩论，从关于“本土植物与外来植物”和“本土植物与杂草”的辩论，转变为一种可以识别投资于不同园艺实践的文化理念的辩论，并建立想象和转变园艺实践的新方法。
