| Prof Peter Kanowski ‘Reviving the Arboretum Dream: the making of the National Arboretum Canberra’ | Thursday, 28 November 2024 - 12:30pm to 1:30pm |
The National Arboretum Canberra was more than 100 years in the making; a large arboretum was envisaged as part of Canberra’s design from the outset. Peter Kanowski will reflect on how that longstanding idea finally took shape, and the shape it took. Bookings can be made from about 30 days in advance until the night before the talk or until seating limits are reached. (Tickets are Free but a donation on entry is appreciated.)
