The African Violet Association of Australia, Inc was formed to promote a better understanding of the culture of the Gesneriad family.

The most widely known of this family is the African violet (Saintpaulia). Other members of the gesneriad family including Columneas, Achimenes, Kohlerias, Episcias, Nematanthus, Sinningias, Aeschynanthus and Gloxinia are slowly becoming more popular.

The Association holds both day and evening meetings throughout the year at Burwood RSL Club, 96 Shaftesbury Road, Burwood NSW.

At these meetings members are able to purchase all the supplies they will need for growing African violets and all the other gesneriads as well as a large selection of plants.
