31 Aug & 1 Sept – Australian Plant Show Bendigo
Posted on 26 August, 2013 by Connecting Country
The Bendigo Native Plant Group is holding their 2013 Australian Plant Show on the first weekend in Spring – Saturday August 31 and Sunday September 1, 10 am – 4.30 pm at Rotary Gateway Park Centre, High Street Kangaroo Flat. $5 entry (children free).
There will be a native and indigenous floral display, plant sales, children’s corner, book sales, a DVD presentation on plants that grow in the Bendigo region, a display of Australian bonsai, and a raffle.
The group started in the 1970’s and teaches about and promotes the use of Australian Native and Indigenous plants. They have planted public gardens with Australian natives plants and are currently assisting a Primary school with a Landcare project. Some members monitor rare species in our bushland, participate in conservation work and have discovered new species of flora.
The group meets on the third Tuesday of the month at 7.45 pm at the Golden Square Senior Citizens rooms, Old High Street, Golden Square. Activities and excursions are organised and advertised through their Newsletter.
