SUMMARY:Doug Laing - 'Wallace\, Wilsons and Other Wonders of West Papua'
DESCRIPTION:An enduring fascination in natural history and the life and times of Alfred Russel Wallace was more than enough to temp our speaker\, Doug Laing\, in October last year\, to undertake his own voyage of discovery to this extraordinary part of Indonesia. Today’s presentation is based on that visit and will reflect on\, and partly parallel\, Wallace’s journey in New Guinea but ventures further afield to sample a little more of the island\, its people\, plants and birds – a land that Wallace intuitively knew was very different from the archipelago of the Malays where he had spent most of the four years before his return to England in 1858. \nDoug is an ANBG Friend and Guide\, birdwatcher when time permits and\, after years of public service\, much of it in the world of diplomacy and foreign affairs\, still finds the idea of travel to exotic and not altogether comfortable destinations\, like West Papua\, to be an exciting prospect. \n

SUMMARY:Dr Virginia Lohr - 'Why I Love (and Why You Love) the ANBG
DESCRIPTION:Research on human response to plants helps us understand how people respond psychologically and physically to plants and what scientists think about why we respond so strongly. \nDr. Virginia Lohr is currently a Visiting Fellow at ANU’s Fenner School of Environment & Society.  She is here for one year\, on sabbatical leave from the Department of Horticulture at Washington State University in the U.S.  Her educational background includes horticulture\, psychology\, and statistics; which has allowed her to focus a research program on understanding the ties that bind people and plants together.  She has more than 40 publications related to the effects of plants on people\, and she has been invited to speak on the subject across the U.S. and internationally\, including in Finland\, Italy\, and Japan.

SUMMARY:1963 - Landscaping the Lake: A Garden History Society event
DESCRIPTION:When Lake Burley Griffin filled over the summer of 1963-64 the two quasi-villages north and south of the Molonglo River were united into a single city. Dr Dianne Firth\, whose PhD researched the history of the Lake\, will describe how the Lake’s construction involved extensive shaping of new basins which had impacts on landscapes such as Weston Park\, the Royal Canberra Golf Club and the Jerrabombera Wetlands\, and introduced new plantings such as the creation of Commonwealth Park\, Aspen Island and the lakeside walks. \nIn addition\, the National Library\, in consultation with Dianne\, is arranging a viewing after the lecture of some of the splendid collection of photos\, maps and other material from the Richard Clough collection held by the NLA. Richard Clough was the NCDC’s chief landscape architect responsible for the construction of Lake Burley Griffin. \nDr Dianne Firth is Deputy Chairperson of the ACT Heritage Council\, a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Landscape Architects and Adjunct Associate Professor of Landscape Architecture at the University of Canberra. \nThis lecture is being organised by the Australian Garden History Society in collaboration with the Friends of the National Library. This annual collaboration is now of some years’ standing and always proves of great interest to both groups and to others such as Friends of the ANBG. \nVenue: Conference Room\, 4th Floor\, National Library of Australia\, followed by the collection viewing in the Brindabella Room and drinks in the Friends’ Lounge \nCost: Members of AGHS and Friends of the NLA $10\, non-members $15. \nBooking: On the NLA website at https://register.eventarc.com/15232/landscaping-the-lake or by phoning the Friends of the NLA on 6262 1698.

SUMMARY:Centenary Chat: Assoc. Prof. Don Beer - 'Miracle on Black Mountain: The Early History of the Australian National Botanical Gardens'
DESCRIPTION:How did the ANBG come into existence? The surprising thing about its creation is that there was no forceful movement of public opinion in its favour\, no leading politician who took it up as a cause.  This talk will examine the place occupied by a botanic garden in the early discussions of the ideal federal city\, the contribution made by Walter Burley Griffin\, the limited but important steps taken in the 1930s in unfavourable circumstances\, and the roller coaster of development and delay post-World War II that led to the official opening in 1970.  The answer to our question will be found to be very Canberra-like.  \nDon Beer\, a Friend of the ANBG\, was previously Associate Professor of History at the University of New England.

SUMMARY:Dr Michael Whitehead 'The Empty Promises and Fake Advertisments of Orchid Pollination'
DESCRIPTION:Most flowering plants employ animals to carry out the essential service of pollination. The majority of these plants persuade their pollinators through rewards such as nectar or pollen\, the presence of which is signalled through bright petals and sweet scents. There are\, however\, many plant species whose false advertisements draw pollinators to rewardless flowers. Chief among them are the orchids who masterfully deceive pollinators through false promises of sex and food. Michael will discuss his research on pollination in rewardless flowers\, with a special focus on the sexually deceptive orchids of Eastern Australia. \nMichael Whitehead was awarded his PhD in 2012 from the ANU for a study on pollination in east Australian sexually deceptive orchids. He now alternates between two postdoctoral positions: a research fellowship with the ANU and Kings Park in which he studies mycorrhizal interactions in Spider Orchids\, and postdoctoral scholar at University of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa where he researches the behavioural ecology of long-tongue fly pollinated food deceptive orchids.

SUMMARY:Centenary Chat - Graeme Barrow 'Magnificent Lake George'
DESCRIPTION:Lake George has excited the interest of countless people since it was discovered by British explorers in August 1820. Before that\, Aboriginal people had visited or lived around the lake for thousands of years. The lake puzzles many because it regularly fills and empties\, meaning that on numerous occasions it has been completely dry or close to it. \n\n	Graeme Barrow will talk about the origins of the lake\, why its waters disappear\, Aboriginal life around it\, and its discovery by Joseph Wild. He will discuss European occupation of the lake\, grandiose schemes to use its waters\, and the terrible loss of life that has occurred when people have ignored the dangers it presents for the unwary. \n\n	Graeme Barrow is a Canberra journalist who has lived here since 1969. He retired from full-time work in 1999 and has since produced numerous bushwalking guides and local history studies through his business\, Dagraja Press\, formed in 1977.\n

SUMMARY:Centenary Chat. Victoria Jones - ‘The History and Design of the Old Parliament House Gardens’
DESCRIPTION:Planning for the establishment of the Old Parliament House Gardens began in the late 1920s when Federal Parliament moved to Canberra from Melbourne.  The gardens\, which have a rich and important history and presence in the Parliamentary Triangle\, were renovated and re-opened to the public in 2004.  They serve several purposes: their design is historically significant\, they show off the rose in its many forms and provide an oasis of colour and peacefulness within this part of Canberra.  This talk will focus on the history and design of the gardens. \n\n	Victoria Jones has been a horticultural volunteer in the Old Parliament House Gardens since 2005.  She works in the Rex Hazelwood Garden along with the team of volunteers who work there on a weekly basis.  Victoria has gathered information from a range of historical and contemporary sources\, which make up the content of the presentation.

SUMMARY:Centenary Chat. Bill Gammage and Jake Gillen - ‘The Biggest Estate on Earth’
DESCRIPTION:Professor Bill Gammage in his recent book The Biggest Estate on Earth revealed that Aboriginal Australians used fire management to transform the continent into a mosaic of grasslands and other kinds of plant communities to ensure their supplies of wildlife and plant foods. He will discuss his findings with Jake Gillen from the ANU’s Fenner School of Environment and Society. \nBill Gammage is an adjunct professor in the Humanities Research Centre at the ANU\, researching Aboriginal land management at the time of contact (“1788”).

SUMMARY:Centenary Chat.  Dr Judy West - ‘The Science Behind Your Gardens’
DESCRIPTION:This talk will explore the scientific role of the ANBG and show how research has influenced its development over the past 40 years. From the initial concept of a science-based botanic garden\, nestled among natural bushland and on a hillside juxtaposed with ANU and CSIRO\, the ANBG has fulfilled its early goals to grow\, study and promote Australian plants. The plant collections on display at the Gardens provide a key asset and represent several endangered ecological communities of the Canberra region. Through horticultural and taxonomy research\, advanced botanical information management and conservation activities – and now incorporating seed banking and seed science – the ANBG pursues its challenging mission to inspire\, inform and connect people to Australian flora. \n                                                                                                                             \nSince 2009 Judy has been Executive Director of the ANBG and head of Parks and Biodiversity Science within the then Department of the Environment\, Water\, Heritage and the Arts. She has also been Director of the Australian National Herbarium since 1989.
