The Wildflower Show Shop offers many wildflower related books, cards and products, and features the work of local artists and crafts people.

The Ravensthorpe Herbarium, situated next door to the Wildflower Show, holds many hundred botanical specimens collected from within the Ravensthorpe Shire. Experts on the local flowers are on hand each day for identification queries.

Devonshire Teas are available each day, provided by local fund raising organisations. The comfortable surroundings of the 106 year old Ravensthorpe Community Centre will make a refreshing 'tea break' for the weary traveller.

There are spectacular drives and walks in the district. A brochure, available at the Visitors Centre and at the Wildflower Show, identifies 12 drives designed for viewing particular flowers. It is also illustrated with stunning photographs.

Walks: The Hopetoun-Ravensthorpe Railway Heritage Walk Trail is made up of four sections along the old railway track between the two towns. There are plaques identifying flora and fauna and historical sites along the way. Brochures with maps of each section are available.

The Springdale Courtyard Cafe offers four different wildflower walks, graded to agility and stamina. The cafe is situated on the Jerdacuttup River, just south of Springdale Road, with a charming courtyard where you can enjoy lunch or coffee. A wildflower video aids the identification process of flowers just seen. Gourmet products are on sale which include bush seasonings. Picnic packs may be pre-ordered for walkers.

Proceeds from the Wildflower Show are donated to partnership organisations which assist in the running of the show, the Senior Citizens and the Ravensthorpe Historical Society.
