Royal Easter Show – showcasing Australian Native plant arrangements

By Lisa Godden with contributions from Joan Zande, Lloyd Hedges and Barbara Melville

At the 2022 Sydney Royal Easter Show, three of our district groups showcased a brilliant range of Australian native plant arrangements. Menai Wildflower Group, Sutherland and Central Coast all spent full days arranging cuttings contributed by group members. See the full list of categories and results here. The three groups put in a huge effort and should be highly commended for showcasing just how gorgeous and versatile Australian native plants can be. Below you can see some of the arrangements that were entered.

Also, on our youtube channel there is a video from 2013 when our members were setting up the APS NSW Royal Easter Show display. It steps through how they put the display together. Have a look here.
