FREE PRESENTATION: Presentation about Hakeas

Chris Larkin, will be our keynote speakers at the 8th of July, Australian Plants Society (APS) - Cardinia Region Inc. Meeting.

This month's topic will showcase the wonderful Hakeas, which feature diverse leave shapes and flower presentations, guided by Chris' personal experience and exploration.

Please join us in looking at this genus of plants where you will have the opportunity to see samples of Hakeas from Chris' and our member's gardens.

We will also share tales of our success in growing them as well as the challenges experienced. It will give us an opportunity to learn from each other as we put hakeas under the spotlight.
