Planning Solo Attack in Hobart

[Jimbob]

Comrades,
I have identified a large area of council-neglected "reserve" out my back fence, several acres in size, currently populated by occasionally-mowed weeds, a sparse collection of 44-gallon drums, and golf balls.

I plan to launch an attack in the coming months; my only concern is, with what?  Part of me is tending towards a crop of sunflowers - I have grown them successfully before from the "bird seed" bags of sunflower seeds.  Part of me knows I should be planting natives; alas, getting my hands on native seeds, seedlings or trees has proven to be an expensive process in the past.  Commandos, convince me - how can I get my hands on enough Australian native plants to "take back" this territory cheaply and efficiently?

Hi, Maybe ask the wilderness society I've seen them giving away thousands of native seedlings before.
I think its on Melville? street in hobart... the building with the 'jungle' dome.

Hmmm, I think maybe the 'forest dome' belongs to Forestry Tasmania, but you're right, it's someone like Conservation Volunteers that are near neighbours on the same street (it always struck me as quite a juxtaposition).
