Published on 03 October, 2003
CQU Plant Sciences researcher Dr Nanjappa Ashwath has launched a new book called 'Native Plants for the Fitzroy Catchment', produced by the Rockhampton branch of the Society for Growing Australian Plants.
The launch was held at Kershaw Gardens in the presence of the national president of SGAP Laurie Smith.
About 50 people gathered for the occasion, which included a display of native plants and the tasting of native plant produce (eg Davidson plum jam).
The book is very useful to native plant enthusiasts and is being sold at $18. Details are available via Ashwath on n.ashwath@cqu.edu.au .
