Why Join?
Some of the benefits of membership:
1.     Ten monthly meetings from February to November provide demonstrations, informative talks and workshops             as well as contact with other growers. There is also a May "Show" lunch and a Christmas Luncheon in early             December to celebrate the year and presentation of Annual Trophies.

2.     Meetings include a competition table of plants where growers plants are judged and points awarded.                         The points are accumulated over the year toward trophies at the Christmas function.
​
3.      Each meeting has a Trading Table and members are able to purchase all the supplies they will need                         for growing African violets and  other Gesneriads as well as a selection of plants for sale.

4.     There is a library of books and digital material about African violets and other Gesneriads that are listed on               the  web based index and available for loan to members. There is also a web based database of plants being           grown in WA.

5.     The Society website has a lot of additional information available in the members only area and when you                  become a member you are given the password for access to the library index and all the additional material,            including videos, available in the members area.
