The group wants Australians to be proud of their own unique and beautiful flora, bursting with bold, vibrant and subtle colours and heady bush scents; unique flora that provides habitat and food for our own special wildlife. Visitors can buy native plants, gardening, botany and nature books, as well as refreshments.
