The Photographic Group’s annual exhibition Illuminate’26 opens to the public on Thursday 5 November and runs until Sunday 29 November.
It takes place in the ANBG Visitor Centre from 9.30 am to 4.30 pm daily.

In lieu of a Spring public sale this year, Growing Friends are offering Friends a selection of plants during November. All plants are sourced from within the Gardens and are $6 or more depending on the size of the pot.

Karen will talk about Koalas’ dietary habits and how they influence where they live.

At the next Plant Recognition Group workshop, we will be learning about the tribe Gnaphalieae within the Asteraceae (daisy) family.

Let’s hunt for bugs on Black Mountain as part of Bugs In My Backyard Week with Kim Pullen, who is involved with the Australian National Insect Collection.

Maurice will coach us to success on propagating and caring for Australian native plants.

The next regular Photographic Group meeting, and final one for the year, takes place at 10 am on Friday 27 November in the ANBG Theatrette. The main item of business will be a presentation from long time group member Steven Playford titled ‘Northern Exposure’. Steven will be talking about his travels and photographic experiences in Northern Australia.
