Branch meetings often involve plant swaps and plant raffles. Branch meetings and excursions are both opportunities to meet experienced experts on Australian native plants who are always willing to share their knowledge and advice. Branches organize excursions, generally half or one day, to look at Australian native plants in their natural habitat or in gardens. Some Branches organize one or more plant shows each year. At the Branch Meetings, there is generally a key talk by an arranged speaker with topics including discussions of particular types of plants, slides of plant excursions or trips, discussion of plant specimens brought to meetings by members, etc.
Branches establish sub-committees for special projects.
