Yes, our consultancy service can help you with your native rooftop or balcony garden!

Relaxing rooftop gardens, restful balcony and patio native gardens, are cool and refreshing to people as well as wildlife. And when you are relaxing in a native rooftop garden, and a beautiful black and green butterfly lands on a flower next to you.....well...what can we say?

Above, this butterfly was photgraphed in a Sydney backyard, the grevillea on the left is a very popular native garden plant and attracts both birds and butterflies!

Some developers are already including rooftop gardens into their highrise apartment and office buildings. All of our major cities have thousands of hectares of vacant roof space which could easily be adopted to a native rooftop garden.

The benefits of such rooftop gardens is enormous. Apart from helping to provide habitat for our urban wildlife, such gardens provide cooling for the building as well as a refuge for tenants. As anyone who has stood on black asphalt rooftop in Sydney would know, you could fry eggs on the rooftop!

Yet with a little thought and few dollars these rooftops could be turned in native gardens of quiet magic.

Our WPAA publishing division, Wildlife Bytes Publishing, has been set up to help promote the importance of wildlife in our lives.

Similarly, our consultancy division, WPAA Consulting, is a venture to encourage the planting and promotion of native plants to provide wildlife habitat in suburbia. It is also a fundraising venture set up to provide funding for our Wildlife Education Programs in Schools campaign.

We have an experienced and effective team in our Executive Committee. Amongst our members and supporters we have landscapers, native plant botanists, and many people with high levels of experience in relation to native plants and gardens.
