Our members come from the Lower Fleurieu Peninsula including Goolwa, Victor Harbor and surrounding areas.
We meet monthly on visits to members’ gardens and other places on the Lower Fleurieu of interest because of their conservation value for Australian plants.
Each year we also plan an activity to explore outside our own district. Our activities include information sessions and practical propagation exercises at the gardens that we visit.
Details of our monthly activities can be found on the APS Fleurieu Facebook page or by contacting the secretary.
Homoranthus darwinioides with its feathery double flowers is closely related to the Verticordias and is in flower in the garden now.

Dampiera diversifolia is a very suitable plant for a pot as it trails over the edges blending with the Ruby Saltbush, Enchylaena tomentosa, which is trying to take over the garden.

This Grevillea ‘Red Sunset’ grew much bigger than expected and significantly reduced the view of the sea from the house. When parts of it died in the drought, we pruned it back to 2 straggly balls which have since flourished, with flowers on the outside of the dark foliage encouraging parrots.
