Each meeting generally has the following format

About the Australian Plants Society

The aims and objectives of the Australian Plants Society are:

• To foster and promote appreciation, study and participation in growing and propagating Australian native plants
• To foster support and promote the preservation and conservation of Australian native plants
• To encourage the use of Australian native plants in home gardens and public places
• To improve the use of Australian native plants in home gardens and public places
• To interest the nursery industry in propagating and supplying Australian plants to the public
• To increase and disseminate general knowledge of Australian native plants.

The Australian Plants Society NSW is organised into District Groups. Sutherland is one such group. The APS was previously known as the Society for Growing Australian Plants (SGAP) but changed its name in 1997 to reflect members' broad range of interests in Australian plants. The Australian Plants Society NSW is a member of the federal organisation Australian Native Plants Society (Australia), formerly known as the Association of Societies for Growing Australian Plants - ASGAP.
