The Keilor Plains Group is a local bunch of native plant enthusiasts living on the Western Plains of Melbourne and its surrounding rural fringe.





We are dedicated to:



- GROWING Australian Plants, both indigenous to our area and native flora from further afield.



- CONSERVING native plants in grasslands, the bush, along waterways, parks, other pockets of remnant flora, and revegetation of weed infested land.



- LEARNING from each other, from age old wisdom to the latest research.





The Australian Plants Society is now an Australia-wide organisation of people striving to learn to know and grow our native plants and preserve Australia's unique flora. To this end we grow native plants in our own gardens, encourage their use in community areas and learn to appreciate and conserve those still growing in their original environments.



The Australian Plants Society - Victoria Inc is on eof the autonomous state bodies which make up this fellowship of enthusiasts. At a local level, members form district groups for greater convenience and contact. The Keilor Plains Group is one such district group.





Aims of the Australian Plants Society and the Keilor Plains Group:



- To encourage the growing and use of Australian plants in home gardens and public areas.



- To protect native plants and their habitat.



- To promote the study and appreciation of Australian native plants.



- To pass on our knowledge as widely as possible.
