The Australian Native Plants Society (Australia) (ANPSA) is a federation of seven state-based member organizations for people interested in Australia's native flora, both in aspects of conservation and in cultivation. A national conference is held biennially for members of the state-based societies. The combined membership is over 9000 people. ==History== The Society for Growing Australian Plants (SGAP) was established in 1957 by a group of people who "pledged to promote the establishment and breeding of Australian native plants for garden, park and farm". By 1958 active regional Societies had been established in six States and the ACT with the Federal Association (ASGAP) being formed in 1962 Initially the focus was on growing and learning about Australian Flora more for home and amenities plantings - members included botanists and horticulturists as well as enthusiastic laypeople. As time has gone on, there has been an increasing focus on conservation, and advocacy for conservation, of Australian Flora. The Wildflower Society in Western Australia has been particularly diligent in liaising with government bodies in that state and the New South Wales body is a member of the Nature Conservation Council of NSW. The national association changed its name to the Australian Native Plants Society (Australia) in 2008. Rare and "hard to find" Australian plants can be purchased at their plant sales, which typically occur twice a year, spring and autumn, in many regions. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Australian Native Plants Society」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
