The Merredin Branch has a Herbarium with a large grass collection, cares for many local reserves (see Activities below) and holds occasional meetings with guest speakers. Merredin is about 250kms from Perth and Kalgoolie.

The Merredin Branch of the Wildflower Society was formed at a meeting at the Merredin RSL Rooms in May 1991. For over 30 years this small group has contributed to the community through its work in conserving and promoting the native vegetation of the area. The group continues to be very active (See Award news below).

Members attend and provide Annual Reports to state meetings of the Wildflower Society of Western Australia and has hosted two State Conferences at Merredin, in 2006 and 2017 with the next one in the planning for 27th and 28th June 2026.
