Australian Plants Society Tasmania Inc.
A warm welcome is extended to both members and non-members interested in Australian native plants. Join us in growing, promoting and protecting our special flora.
The Australian Plants Society Tasmania Inc. (formerly the Society for Growing Australian Plants) is part of an Australia-wide organisation made up of people interested in the propagation, cultivation and conservation of plants native to Australia – Groups are located in all regions of Tasmania.
APST has three Groups which are located across Tasmania, local activities & meetings are based in Devonport, Kingston and Launceston.
Northern Group
Regular excursions to places of interest provide opportunities to go to special botanical places with other people with an interest in our native flora. Meetings have excellent speakers plus a ‘plant of the month’ presentation and great supper!
Both the working bees, at the Tasmanian Native Garden, Mowbray each month and the plant propagation sessions are social and educational gatherings.
North West Group
We always welcome people who share an interest in or want to find out about Australia’s native plants. Come to our meetings in Devonport or visit us at our nursery propagation sessions at the Arboretum to learn about growing native plants.
Our group often visit members’ lovely native gardens or go on bush walks to appreciate and photograph Tasmania’s diverse flora.
Hobart Group
Wonderful walks through Tasmania’s unique bushlands led by knowledgeable members and garden visits are a feature of our group. Members learn how to propagate and grow native plants at the Hobart Group nursery which are sold to the public at biannual sales. Monthly, day and evening meetings are held in Kingston and welcome guest speakers giving talks on a range of interesting subjects.
