Save the date - it’s happening on Saturday, 14 March 2026 in the Banksia Centre car park. The sale runs from 9:00-11.30 am but typically sells out by 10.00 am. Don’t be late!

Plants are generally $6 or $10 per pot (unless otherwise indicated) and purchase is by card only.

With over 1000 plants for sale, and about a hundred native species and cultivars, there is a plant for every spot in your garden. We have old favourites like Correa ‘Dusky Bells’ and ‘Lemon Twist’, and the ever-popular yellow Straw Flower (Xerochrysum bracteatum).

Other popular plants include Brachyscomes, Banksias, Callistemons, Correas, Croweas, Grevilleas, Hakeas, Leptospermums, Pimeleas, Prostantheras, Telopeas, and Westringias. Those looking for ACT plants will be tempted by the Alpine Daisy Bush (Olearia algida) and the dainty Chamomile Sunray (Rhodanthe anthemoides).

Prospective buyers are encouraged to bring their own carry bags and boxes. 

The Friends love and support our beautiful Gardens – the world’s largest collection of Australian native plants.

Through our programs of talks, visits and social activities, our members and visitors meet, learn, grow and enjoy the riches of this very special place. Our special-interest groups are inspired by its unique artistic and scientific opportunities.

Since 1990 we have donated around $2 million for projects in the Gardens, and members actively contribute to its horticultural, educational and research programs as volunteers.
