Responses are usually quick, not always accurate, so I take the suggestions and search the names. In this case, response was fast and accurate, and agreed with Tony's answer which I think was from iNaturalist.
I was surprised at how advanced the plants were. The gardens make quite a statement. There was some discussion about ground covers that could be used to replace the narrow grass edging that had been left initially to ensure mulch was not washed into the roadside gutter. Something that could withstand some foot traffic would be ideal.
Do you have a list of your preferred native plants for verge gardens?
I find the aps AI has a way to go to get our native plants correctly but the fb group already mentioned - qld plant id. Is fantastic. And Inat for its AI capability for identification. But you shouldnt record planted specimens on Inat.
I usually tell people to go to their local community nursery for advice, and also other verge gardeners in their area. Main thing is that fit requirements for low-growing, not spiky or poisonous, don't create trip hazards etc.
So what’s your go to plant identification app?
I sometimes use a facebook group Queensland Plant Identification

iNaturalist is a good free app to identify plants, and you can do much more with this app.
