Kings Park Volunteer Guides

WA plants have some extreme conditions to contend with which has led to many amazing ways of coping.

Roe Gardens and Memorial

Let a Kings Park Volunteer Guide take you on a journey to see some amazing features of our unique Western Australian flora.The WA environment is characterised by a range of climate conditions and ancient and low nutrient soils that have not been replenished for almost 250 million years. Over this time evolution has produced a myriad of adaptations to allow these plants to survive. This has lead to an extremely biodiverse flora and complex relationships with birds and insects. Our plants are like nowhere else on Earth.DETAILSDate: Thursday, October 10Time: 10.30 am - 12.00 pm.
