Hints on Growing Native Plants

Hints on Growing Native Plants was a small 40-page booklet published by the Society between 1964 and 2012. It is now out of print and unavailable from our bookshop.
Remarkably, it was published soon after the Society was established in Western Australia (1958).
Our Grow Subcommittee has deliberated about editing and publishing it again (with small or large changes), but for the moment, we have decided to leave it as an historical document, and as a tribute to the contributing authors, to publish it here as a downloadable pdf.
