Our Committee Members
Our Growers
The larger selections of classic gerberas are typically available at our Annual Championship Show, usually held in the second week of April at the South Perth Community Centre, as well as at the WA Horticultural Council Garden Fair, generally held in early October.
In addition, several of our experienced growers, who maintain a broad range of gerberas, are willing to supply plants to the public outside of these events. Interested buyers can contact these members directly by phone to arrange viewings and purchases.
