What happened to Annandale's Local Provenance Plants

During the 18th and 19th Centuries, the Turpentine-Ironbark Forests which covered the Inner West, of Sydney, were cut down for their valuable timber. The remaining local provenance vegetation would have been eliminated by farming and subsequently by residential development.

Species List

This list of Local Provenance Plant Species, that is plants that would have been endemic in the area, is based on a list compiled by Catherine Rowland.

Sourcing Local Provenance Plants

While the Rozelle Bay Nursery does not sell plants, you can buy local provenance species at from Cornucopia Nursery, Marrickville Community Nursery and Strathfield Council Native Nursery.

Reintroduction of Local Provenance Vegetation to Annandale

Local Provenance Plants are those that have naturally evolved to suit the climatic, light and soil conditions of an area.

The Rozelle Bay Community Native Nursery collects seeds and cuttings from the closest remaining bushland, to propagate and reintroduce Local Provenance Plants to the area. The reintroduction of Local Provenance Plants has been extremely sucessful. As you walk around Annandale's public spaces, you will notice a diverse range of plants thriving and providing habitat to butterflies, dragonflies, birds, lizards and frogs.
