The Hunter Valley District Group welcomes you.

Our members are dedicated to promoting, growing and propagating native Australian flora.

We all come from a very wide geographic area and there are many different ecosystems represented!

Our regular meetings are held in conjunction with garden visits or other field trips, generally on the third Sunday of the month - from 10am to about 2pm. 

Most meetings feature:

• Show-and-tell table, where members share plants from their gardens or bring unknown varieties for identification
• Raffle - Generally plants but may include books, gardening tools, etc
• Tea and snacks
• Sale of seeds and plants propagated by members
• Speakers and demos (from time to time)

Many of our meetings are held at the private gardens of members, who offer a tour of their native garden.  

Check our activities page for events. If you would like to attend, please contact Michael Belcher, for more more information - see link below.

On our Resources page is lots of information about native plants - where to buy them, how to design and build a native garden, and which plants are indigenous to the Hunter Valley region.
