The Mitchell group of the Australian Plants Society, APS, annual native flower show and plant sale returns to Wallan after last year’s successful event. The Native Plant Expo will be at Wallan Multi-Purpose Community Centre, Bentinck Street Wallan, on Saturday, October 14.
APS Mitchell aims to promote and maintain interest in the growing, propagating, and conservation of Australian native plants for home gardens and public places. The group hosts monthly meetings in Kilmore with guest speakers, plant sales, plant identification tables, and supper.
The native flower display will feature hundreds of locally-grown flowers, including rare plants, to entice people to plant Australian natives in their garden. At last year’s spring expo and sale, the group presented more than 300 flower species, including Grevillea, Hakea, Eremophila, Eucalyptus, and Acacia, as well as species indigenous to the Mitchell Shire and wider region.
In addition to flower displays, there will be lots of plants and a large variety of books about native plants for sale. Sellers include La Trobe Indigenous Plant Nursery – indigenous tube stock, Goldfields Revegetation, Joan and Peter Broughton, and Ironstone Park – unusual native plants.
