SUMMARY:Up Close and Personal Themed Walks
DESCRIPTION:Join a free guided walk to get up close and personal to our wonderful Australian flora. Are they roots on the outside of that trunk?  The young of that tree has very different leaves to its parents.  Where are the petals on that bottlebrush flower? This walk will focus on the interesting details of Australian plants that we might not notice at first glance. \nThese one-hour guided walks are held at 11am and 2pm each day\, from Monday 15th June to Sunday 21st June. \nMeet at the clock near the cafe bridge. \nNo booking required for individuals\, but groups of more than six people should contact walks@friendsanbg.org.au a week before the planned walk.

DESCRIPTION:The next Cameras and Café Walk will be held on Saturday 11 July 2026. \nThis walk will be a special one.

SUMMARY:Plants Through Time Themed Walks
DESCRIPTION:Come on a free guided walk through the Australian National Botanic Gardens and look at the life story of plants on earth\, the main evolutionary changes that have occurred in plants over 3 billion years and how plants have changed our planet.
