Plant of the Month.
General meetings of the Northern Group nearly always commence with a member giving a 10 minute presentation on an interesting Australian native plant. These include both native plants growing in their natural habitat and those many plants suitable for cultivation in native gardens.
For several years the Examiner newspaper and their garden scribe, Les Hodge, published a 'Native Plant of the Month' as well as the continuing notification of our meetings and guest speakers. As at our meetings, the articles featured botanical details and coloured photographs.
Below are many of both the Examiner articles and links to our General Meeting 'Plant of the Month'.
