Mr Jim McCulloch had the vision, courage and tenacity (in 1982) to establish a wildflower show in Ravensthorpe. 43 years on and the show continues to thrive and its success is testimony to the dedication and enthusiasm of the Ravensthorpe Wildflower Show Committee. It still remains a volunteer not for profit organisation, with many volunteers and well supported by the local community. Wanjoo Wudjari Boodjar - Welcome to Wudjari Country.

The show celebrates the abundance of floral diversity in the shire, a tribute to the rugged and natural beauty of the region, it continues to inspire amateurs and enthusiasts alike with its depth, breadth and quality of flowers on display.

Ravensthorpe is part of the Fitzgerald Biosphere a UNESCO recognised Man & Biosphere Project. The world class Fitzgerald River National Park and the unique Ravensthorpe Range, are in the heart of the biosphere and host to almost 25% per cent of Western Australia’s flora species – including some that are, as yet, undocumented.

The Ravensthorpe Wildflower Show brings nature to town in a way that enables tourists, enthusiasts, botanists and locals to enjoy the extraordinary biodiversity in a world class display. Each year, dedicated, qualified and licensed pickers head out to their allotted destinations to gather flowers and deliver them to the herbarium in town. The specimens are then sorted, classified and placed on display. On average, approximately 700 different species are featured at the show.

The Ravensthorpe Wildflower Show is proud to have well-known horticulturist and ABC presenter, Sabrina Hahn as its Patron.
