EVENT DETAILS
Local wildflowers can make beautiful pot plants, whatever size of garden or space you have. Learn how to grow them, the types of pots to choose and which plants grow best. Join us for this highly interactive, informative and fun talk with local plant and bird enthusiasts Rachel and Mike Green.
You’ll also discover where to get the plants, the best pots available and where to place them. Plus, gain tips on watering, fertilising, propagating and even slug management. And learn what plants or seeds it would be good to purchase at the Eastern Hills Branch plant sale in May. All this is supported by beautiful and inspiring photographs and local plant examples – and even a wicking pot demonstration.
Rachel and Mike only have a small garden in the Perth Hills but they supplement it with over 190 pots including 76 wicking pots and grow glorious displays of local wildflowers and plants in them. Their garden featured on ABC TV’s Gardening Australia in August 2025 and in an 8-page spread in Gardening Australia Magazine in September. Their flowers are that good!
Whether you have a courtyard, small garden or a hectare, discover how to grow beautiful local wildflowers in pots and bring more colour and birds to your home.
Rachel and Mike Green are members of the Eastern Hills Branch of the WA Wildflower Society, the Darling Range Branch of the WA Naturalists’ club and the High Wycombe Gardening group … they’ll cover the topic from all angles! In addition, they are highly experienced and entertaining presenters who promise not to be boring. Rachel previously had a career as a professional speaker during which time she was awarded the highest level of international speaker accreditation. Don’t miss them or their flowers!
