Helping the Gardens Grow

Parliament House Benches (ABC Jed Cooper)
Parliament House Benches (ABC Jed Cooper)

6 - 12 May, 11am to noon and 2pm to 3pm - Free 

Parliament House and Old Parliament House both feature some beautiful timbers from Australian trees. On this free guided walk through the Botanic Gardens, see living examples of these trees and hear some interesting snippets of information about them. Meet at the Gardens at the clock near the bridge to the Cafe. No booking required for individuals but groups of more than six people should contact walks@friendsanbg.org.au well before the planned walk.

The Friends love and support our beautiful Gardens – the world’s largest collection of Australian native plants.

Through our programs of talks, visits and social activities, our members and visitors meet, learn, grow and enjoy the riches of this very special place. Our special-interest groups are inspired by its unique artistic and scientific opportunities.

Since 1990 we have donated around $2 million for projects in the Gardens, and members actively contribute to its horticultural, educational and research programs as volunteers.

The Australian Government has changed the rules relating to environmental funds, and that includes the Friends of the ANBG Public Fund. The Register of Environmental Organisations has been abolished, and along with it the need for the Friends to have a separate Public Fund. Donations will now be made directly to the Friends, and will continue to be tax deductible. Donors will be issued with an official receipt which clearly shows that the donation is tax deductible.
