Members and guests are most welcome to attend. At our meetings we discuss cultivation, hear guest speaker present talks and slide shows on all aspects of palms and cycads both in the wild and in the garden. In 2007 we had presentations on Palms of New Caledonia; the Cycads and Succulents of Baja Mexico; and the Cycads of Far North Queensland. Each meeting concludes with our very popular plant raffle where you can win rare and unusual plants especially purchased by the society as well as plants donated by members. Meetings run for approximately 2 hours and are a great place to share information and socialize with others who are fascinated by palms and cycads.
Field Trips are organized for April, June, August, and October. Outings could be a visit to a national park to view palms or cycads in habitat; a tour of some of Queensland’s best private gardens; or a trip to specialist nurseries where unusual plants can be purchased.
Brisbane Group members receive the monthly newsletter which is two to four A4 pages covering past and upcoming events.
