(copy) Brisbane Southside Meeting

  • 8 Jul 2025

Meetings are held at 7.30 p.m. at the Holland Park Library Meeting Room, 81 Seville Rd, Holland Park on the 2nd Tuesday of each month except December and January. Come join us, if you are interested in native plants and want to learn more. Our local members are keen to pass on their knowledge in a friendly, relaxed and welcoming setting. We can advise you on the best native plants, their growing requirements and garden design for a range of situations; e.g., a balcony, a small suburban garden to large acreage.

Visitors are always welcome. The usual meeting format is:

  • A short business meeting to discuss matters pertinent to the Branch and Native Plants Queensland including reports relevant to native plants and their cultivation or conservation.
  • A ‘show and tell’ with an informative discussion, where people can bring along specimens from their gardens (i.e., flowers, interesting foliage or propagation material).
  • A discussion session led by a guest speaker and/or local members. These sessions are varied and have included topics about a particular plant group and their cultivars (e.g., Banksias), soil/water requirements for different situations (e.g., containers), a particular propagation technique (e.g., taking cuttings), on conservation issues (e.g., rare and endangered local plants) or topics related to gardening (e.g., native bees, honeyeaters, etc.).
