THE Australian Plants Society Heathcote is calling for stallholders for the Annual Heathcote Flower Show and Plant Sale.

The event will be held at Barrack Reserve stadium on Saturday 12 April from 9am to 3pm.

“Last year was a huge success and we are hoping to build on that again this year,” said secretary Tania Biagioni.

“Most of last year’s stallholders will be returning as well as some new ones, including the Men’s Shed and Heathcote Writers’ Playgroup.

“We would welcome other community groups who would like to have a stall.”

APS Heathcote in a non-profit, incorporated community organisation dedicated to growing Australian native plants, conserving native plants and promoting general knowledge of Australian plants.

“Our theme this year is promoting conservation and growing local native plants to attract local bird species,” said Ms Biagioni.

“There is a saying, plant it and they will come,’ and we hope people will be inspired to plant more native plants and enjoy the bird life they bring to our gardens.”

Anyone who would like to have a stall with products in line with the APS Heathcote theme can contact Ms Biagioni on 0425 707 606.
