Here's a thread where we can share our garden success stories! I know I'm always checking out the gardens of forum members who live in my area to see what could work in my own garden, so I thought we could all share our success stories, and details of where that success is taking place, as a resource.
There's a template below to cut and paste to keep the thread easy to read. Before and after pics would be great, but we may only have after pics (as I have), but the pics must be of the plant in your garden, not one from the web.
If we keep the chat to a minimum, I'm hoping it will be an easy thread to scroll through for ideas!
Here is the template......

I'll kick us off with one of my few success stories!
Plant name: Eremophila Glabra (Prostrate Burgundy)
Location: Wallan, 50km North of Melbourne
Soil type: Moderate clay
Aspect in my garden: East
Requirements when planting and establishing: Cultivate soile before planting and water in, then water a few times a week for the first few weeks.
Maintenance of plant: Prune after flowering to maintain compact growth. Does not need any extra watering once established.
Rough cost to purchase: $7 - $10
Extra info: This has just finishing flowering and is due for a prune, you can just see the last few flowers. It was planted around 9 months ago and has been very successful as a ground cover!
