All the plants are grown in South Australia by members of the society. Most are particularly suitable to Adelaide or South Australian conditions, but  many varieties are of interest to enthusiasts - either because they are rare or unusual in some other way. There are about 1,000 different species or varieties available each sale; enough to satisfy just about any requirement.

 

To help customers choose, there are helpful volunteers on hand, willing to answer queries and help ensure the right choice is made. In many cases, our members may have grown the plant themselves, or know someone who has.

 

At the Information Desk people can access general advice including free soil pH testing and recommendations for the different areas of Adelaide. The Information Desk also runs APSQuery (developed by one of our members) to produce a list of suitable plants that meet any requirements such as plant size, flower colour, soil type or water requirements.
