Our special interest groups

We have a number of groups for likeminded people, catering for specialty interest areas.

All members and interested visitors are welcome to connect with us and share your enthusiasm, knowledge and passion with these groups.

  • Cacti & Succulent Group

    We meet to share our plants, knowledge and enjoyment of growing these popular plants. We also participate in every LHS Flower Show, to show the public interesting examples of this fascinating genus.

    We meet at Windmill Hill Hall, East Launceston at 7:30pm on the fourth Wednesday of the month.

    Bulb & Alpine Group

    This group offers informal get togethers to discuss all things alpine and bulbs, including sharing tips, tricks and plants. Members often bring treasures from their garden to help with identification or problems they are having.

    We also encourage the sharing of these wonderful plants, to help enrich gardens with unusual and hard to obtain plants.

    Meetings are held on the Saturday following our society Flower Shows.

  • Floral Art Group

    We are an informal group conducting regular workshops covering all aspects of floral art. We cater for all abilities, from juniors first starting out to experienced floral artists.

    During our workshops we learn particular styles and philosophies, which we encourage our members to display at the seasonal Flower Shows.

    Meetings are held at Glenara Lakes Activities Room on the last Saturday of the month.
