 Southern Highlands District Group 

Home

The Southern Highlands Group has as our mission, 'to get natives into Southern Highlands gardens'. To this end, we endeavour to provide a programme of talks and activities to inspire the use of native plants.

Australian plants need you! Come along, take part and bring an interested friend. Stimulate your enthusiasm so that we can all encourage others who have not yet experienced the rewards of nurturing native plants in their gardens.

  • Many varied ecosystems within our district mean we have many different plant communities to visit, learn from and enjoy.
  • The beautiful Australian Botanic Garden at Mt Annan is only 45 minutes drive from the Highlands. We visit regularly for enjoyment and inspiration.

  • Who needs silver birches when we can have the bark interest and beauty provided by native snow gums?
