We will be celebrating the profusion of wildflowers that are in bloom in the Cooloola area during wildflower season, using Rainbow Beach as our base. The day will include talks and displays at the hall, field visits to good wildflower sites and a range of workshops with nature-loving artists. Art and design work with a wildflower theme will be on display and for sale. A 56-page booklet of local flowering plants and walks is being published and will be launched at this event. The publication has been supported by Bendigo Bank, and a copy will be included with each registration. Lunch is also included, with various dietary options. You may choose just the basic registration for displays, talks and a field trip, or add on one or two workshops led by artists. Please see the program for morning and afternoon options.
