At your local NPQ branch meeting
Joining a branch (or Study Group) is an optional extra to your membership of Native Plants Queensland, and most groups charge a small additional fee to cover their local administration and meeting costs.
Many NPQ branches will accept payment for the Native Plants Queensland membership, together with the additional fee for local branch participation. Those intending to join their local branch should contact the branch treasurer for payment options.
Alternatively, you may still pay for your Native Plants Queensland membership online as above, and when you attend your local meeting you can pay just the branch fee at that time.
At a Native Plants Queensland event
There may be opportunities during the year, such as at plant sales, to pay your membership fees in person by cash, cheque or money order. Some events also have EFTPOS facilities.
