The Native Flower Growers'
Association Incorporated was formed in Kempsey, which lies half way
between Brisbane and Sydney on the East Coast of Australia. The area is
sub tropical and is the home of many unique Australian Native Flowers.
Our emblem displays
many of these flowers. 
The large red
Waratah, the soft white of the Flannel Flower, the very popular small red
Christmas Bush and the stunning Christmas Bells painted in the 1930s by
the well known Australian Artist Adrian Feint. This remarkable painting
was uncovered in an old autograph book quite by chance.
Also in the Mid
North Coast the beautiful South African Proteas grow extremely well. This
allows us to harvest a variety of flowers twelve months of the year. In
co-operation with the NSW Department of Agriculture and the University of Sydney we are trialing and
developing many new and exciting products for export. Since the forming
of the Association many advances in the culture and production of native
flowers have been made, resulting in a much better product made available
to our customers.
Advantages to our
members are:
- A free flow of
information between members
- Farm visits and
seminars with guest speakers
- Bulk buying
- Access to technical and
cultural information through this web site and our bimonthly
newsletter.
We are a self help
group sharing ideas and experiences to improve our products and
profitability.
