Joan Powling was in Alice Springs last month and is a Member of our club, although she lives Melbourne. She likes to visit the Centre and some of you may remember her giving a talk to ASFNC in 2012 (was it really that long ago?) about Freshwater Algae in the arid zone. After her recent visit here, she travelled to family and friends in Western Australia. She put together this great collage of the flowers she saw at Landsdale. As the weather was pretty cold and wet I didnt get out and about much but had a lovely day with a wildflower friend, Mary Gray, at the Landsdale Farm School http://www.landsdale-farm-school.com.au. Mary took me to meet Hazel Dempster, a retired horticulturalist and a very knowledgeable woman with amazing skills for propagating native plants. She volunteers two days a week in the native plant nursery attached to the farm. Mary, who is President of the Perth Urban Bushland Council http://www.bushlandperth.org.au/ volunteered at the Farm 30 years ago and the trees she planted then are now fully grown and giving wonderful shade. http://www.communitynews.com.au/wanner oo-times/news/wild-about-wa-flora/ Landsdale Farm School at 80 Landsdale Road, Landsdale in the northern suburbs of Perth, was developed for students with disabilities. The nursery, open on Thursdays and Saturdays, has unique WA flora not available elsewhere. Plants are propagated and trialled there for their suitability and versatility in gardens.
