With seven artists taking part, there is plenty of scope for varied interpretation.
Using ink and watercolour, Veronica O’Leary has created delicate drawings with a touch of colour for both weeds and wildflowers.
Tanja Riese has watercolours of perfect rock lilies and Deb Johansen has done bunches of native flowers in oil on paper.
Birds feature with the flora in the paintings of Canberra artists Julie Bradley and Liz Faul.
Ms Bradley uses delicate Japanese papers for her collage and Ms Faul makes comment on the introduced weeds like cotoneaster, blackberry and pyracantha.
Petra Murphy has garden spheres and rolled platters in stoneware clay with a copper glaze inside the bowl and an unglazed textured exterior surface.
Tony Millard’s enhanced black and white photographs of single flowers add to the mix with an edgy perspective.
See this exhibition from October 3 until November 3 at Ivy Hill Gallery, on the coast road between Bermagui and Tathra.
Gallery hours are 10am until 5pm Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
