The Chittering community is gearing up to celebrate its 22nd Wildflower Festival with enthusiasm and energy.
The four day festival is coordinated from the Chittering Visitor Centre with some new activities planned for 2015 to celebrate our beautiful West Australian springtime of colour. The Chittering Landcare group are major partners to the event by contributing their time and expertise in the collection, display and naming of more than 300 specimens from the district. They will also have a display of declared weeds.
The busy four-day program also includes an art exhibition, wildlife carers, markets, Historical Vehicle Day, open days at the Bindoon Heritage Museum, Chitterbug
Gallery apron and tea cosy display, a photographic competition, Quilts in Spring and three open days of the historic Holy Trinity Church on Great Northern Highway.
On Saturday Natalie and Steve from Muchea Tree Farm will be on hand in the hall to sell and talk about their range of local West Australian species of plants.
Bookings for guided wildflower walks are essential by telephoning the Chittering Visitor Centre. The September Colour project will add a splash of colour to the main
shopping precinct of Bindoon with old bicycles and baskets of plants on show, a project coordinated by the Tourist Association with assistance from the local primary school students.
