19th Australian Orchid Conference
September 12th
to 16th 2012
Perth, Western Australia
The 19th Australian Orchid Conference is being held in conjunction with the Kings Park Wildflower Festival which runs for The Full Month of September Each Year
Held each year in Kings Park and Botanic Garden, the Perth Wildflower Festival is one of the city's best-loved events.
Kings Park and Botanic Garden blossomed with all the
colours of a Western Australian Spring this September. Over 500,000 visitors
experienced the Kings Park Festival, a month long celebration of the environmental,
horticultural, recreational ceremonial, and culture and heritage of this
very special place.
The annual Kings Park Festival has just celebrated its second year in the new and exciting month long format. Building on the previous 43 year tradition of the Wildflower Festival, the 2008 Kings Park Festival had something for everyone with a vast myriad of spectacular events and activities that appealed to all ages and interests.
The Kings Park Festival attracted gardening enthusiasts, families, school students, artists, seniors and fashion lovers in their droves, underlining the fact that Kings Park and Botanic Garden was definitely the place to be in September.
For all those who missed it, you can still enjoy some of the magical wildflower displays by taking a journey into the Botanic Garden and be sure to mark the month of September in your diary so that you can celebrate spring with us in 2012. We have already started planning!
Thanks to our sponsors (including Lotterywest, Water Corporation and 720 ABC Perth), supporters (Tourism WA, Bikewest and Channel 7) and our volunteer groups who provided hundreds of man hours of support, in particular the Friends of Kings Park for its significant contribution to the operation of this year's Festival.
