Growing natives in pots with Genna van Hinsburg

Local wildflowers can transform any space into a vibrant, living display—no matter the size of your garden, courtyard, or balcony.  Join one of our nursery technicians, Genna van Hinsberg for an engaging and practical session on growing native plants in pots.

Discover how to select the right containers, choose the best-performing local species, and create thriving, visually rich arrangements. This interactive and informative talk will guide you through sourcing quality plants and pots, and understanding where to position them for maximum success. You’ll also gain practical, easy-to-apply tips on watering, fertilising, propagation, and managing common pests. The session is supported by beautiful, inspiring imagery and real-life examples, along with a demonstration.

Whether you’re working with a compact courtyard, small balcony, or a garden that needs to move when you move, this session will show you how to successfully grow local wildflowers in pots—bringing colour, texture, and birdlife into your outdoor space.
