Enjoying the Wildflowers of Western Australia
The Wildflower Society of Western Australia (WSWA) was established in 1958 to promote the value of our natural bushland. The Society does this through regular meetings and excursions, native plant sales, bushland plant surveys, book sales, donations, and attendance at relevant events.
We can help you, your family and friends to experience the delightful beauty of Western Australia’s wildflowers when you attend any our our events such as hosted walks. You can also hear direct from wildflower experts at our Branch meetings.
Wildflower Society Events
Visit our Events page to see all the activities around WA, and come join us. Prospective members are welcome as guests at almost all events (unless noted otherwise) so please come along – learn something new and have fun at the same time.
Wildflower Meetings
WSWA currently has eleven Branches across the South West of Western Australia. Most have monthly meetings with expert guest speakers and other activities. Check each Branch’s page for a schedule of their activities.
Where to see Wildflowers
See our favourite places for wildflowers in the Perth area, as well as north of Perth and south of Perth.
We also have a listing of Wildflower Shows in Perth and Country towns. You might also check out our Facebook page for up-to-date finds throughout Western Australia.
Protect our Flora
Please be mindful when viewing wildflowers to always stay on the paths/tracks so that you do not trample the sometimes very small new plants emerging.
Also to reduce the risk of introducing pathogens to the bush, always brush down your shoes or boots to remove dirt and spray with a mixture of 70% methylated spirits/30% water, before and after your walk.
Conserving our native flora
The Wildflower Society is committed to the conservation of our native flora. Take a look at our Conservation work, through our Conservation Committee, Roadside Vegetation Sub Committee, our Campaigns, and support for Conservation initiatives through the Bushland Conservation Fund.
