SUMMARY:Dr Rosemary Purdie ‘Some Persian Gardens of Iran’
DESCRIPTION:In this talk Rosemary\, former Honorary Living Collections Botanist ANBG\, will briefly explore history and features of Persian Garden concept\, then walk us through four World Heritage listed gardens in Iran. \nAbstract \n	Many FANBG members are probably familiar with the term Persian Gardens\, but what does it mean? In this talk Rosemary will briefly explore their history and defining features\, then walk us through four World Heritage listed gardens to show what they are like and how the Persian Garden concept is reflected in other places in Iran. \nBiography  \n	Dr Rosemary Purdie is the former Honorary Living Collections Botanist at the Australian National Botanic Gardens and an Honorary Associate of the Australian National Herbarium. Since retiring she has travelled extensively in Central Asia and Iran\, soaking up and marvelling at their natural and cultural features and history. \nBooking Link: https://www.trybooking.com/CQGMB   \nBooking\n	Lunchtime talks are held at 12.30 pm every Thursday from February to November. Talks last for 1 hour. We welcome donations by gold coins\, notes\, or electronically. The Friends use donations received at each talk to support Gardens’ programs and development and we thank all those who have donated.  \nUnless otherwise indicated\, talks are held in the ANBG Theatrette. \nIt is a good idea to reserve a seat at the talks that you wish to attend; talks may be booked out very quickly.  Bookings can be made from about 30 days in advance until the night before the talk or until seating limits are reached.  \nBooking Link: https://www.trybooking.com/CQGMB   \nThe Friends of the ANBG thank the speakers who volunteer their time and talents to further the knowledge of all attending events in the Gardens. Many summaries or PowerPoint presentations of Thursday talks are available to Friends at the ANBG library. Please direct queries about the talks to the Thursday Talks Team: email talks@friendsanbg.org.au.

SUMMARY:AUSTRALIAN FLORA SPECIES: CASUARINACEAE with Dr Tanya Scharaschkin
DESCRIPTION:Explore the science of the Australian plant family Casuarinaceae in detail with botanist and artist Dr Tanya Scharaschkin!  \nVenue: NatureArt Lab Studio\, M16 Artspace\, 21 Blaxland Crescent\, Griffith\, ACT.  \nCost: $190  \nBook HERE \nAbout the Course \nThis one-day workshop provides botanical science insights to gain a comprehensive understanding of the family Casuarinaceae with expert botanist Dr Tanya Scharaschkin. \nThe Casuarina family are a family of dicotyledonous flowering plants placed in the order Fagales\, consisting of four genera and 91 species[2] of trees and shrubs native to eastern Africa\, Australia\, Southeast Asia\, Malesia\, Papuasia\, and the Pacific Islands. \nWe will examine all aspects of Casuarinaceae from structure and function to the ecology of the unique Australian members of this family. Learn how to use keys for identification. Individual parts will be drawn and labelled with botanical terms. During the second half of the workshop\, participants will create beautiful drawings inspired by locally available Casuarina or Allocasuarina specimens.  \nWe will be looking at a wide range of plant parts including flowering structures\, stems and leaves.  \nMaterials List  \nA list of required materials will be emailed to you prior to the start of the course\, but please bring along: \n\nSketch book or note book\, pencil\, sharpener and eraser • fine tip pens\, colour pencils or watercolours . Transparent plastic ruler with clearly marked measurements  • Reading glasses if you need to use them!\nOur studio will provide for use in this workshop: Dissecting kits with forceps\, scalpel\, dissecting needles; magnifying lenses with lights. \n\nLearning Outcomes \n\nA greater understanding of plant structure\nTechniques for dissecting and examining flowers and other plant parts\nSteps involved in observing and documenting botanical specimens\nAn understanding of botanical terminology commonly used for plant identification\nAn appreciation for the beauty and complexity of plants around us\nA series of labelled drawings of plant parts\nInk drawing inspired by parts of a plant\n\nAbout the Tutor \nDr Tanya Scharaschkin is a botanist\, artist and teacher. Tanya is intrigued by patterns in nature and is keen to share the beauty of plants that she sees at different scales as a botanist. Her artwork combines traditional botanical art with photography and digital art using a variety of media. She hopes her art will inspire others to not only admire plants but also develop an understanding and appreciation for the biology of plants.   \nTanya is an enthusiastic and well-organised instructor. Her lectures\, talks and workshops enable the general public to understand scientific concepts. Tanya conducts a variety of workshops as a way of sharing her enthusiasm for plants and bringing art and science together.  \nTanya was born and brought up in Pakistan. She has a Bachelor’s degree in Botany and Zoology and a Master’s in Science degree in Zoology from Pakistan\, followed by a Master’s degree in Vertebrate Paleontology and a PhD in Plant Systematics from the US. Much of her academic career was spent at Queensland University of Technology\, Brisbane. She is now a free-lance botanist and artist\, living and working in Collinsvale\, Tasmania. Most of Tanya’s projects incorporate a botanical theme\, although she has designed\, made and exhibited mathematically-motivated quilts. Her artwork is held in private collections\, in Australia and overseas.

SUMMARY:AUSTRALIAN FLORA SERIES: PROTEACEAE with Dr Tanya Scharaschkin
DESCRIPTION:Explore the science of the Australian plant family Proteaceae in detail with botanist and artist Dr Tanya Scharaschkin! \nVenue: NatureArt Lab Studio\, M16 Artspace\, 21 Blaxland Crescent\, Griffith \nCost:  $380 \nBook HERE. \nAbout the Course \nDuring this two-day workshop provides botanical science insights to gain a comprehensive understanding of the family Proteaceae with expert botanist Dr Tanya Scharaschkin.  \nPlants in the family Proteaceae form a major part of the Australian ecosystem. Most of us are familiar with grevilleas and banksias\, but how many of us understand what’s going on with the complicated floral display. \nThe Proteaceae form a family of flowering plants predominantly distributed in the Southern Hemisphere.  Well-known Proteaceae genera include Protea\, Banksia\, Embothrium\, Grevillea\, Hakea and Macadamia. \nWe will examine all aspects of Proteaceae from structure and function to the ecology of the unique Australian members of this family. Learn how to use keys for identification. Individual parts will be drawn and labelled with botanical terms. During the second day of the workshop\, participants will create beautiful drawings inspired by locally available Proteaceae specimens.   \nWe will be looking at a wide range of plant parts including flowers\, buds and leaves.  \nMaterials List  \nA list of required materials will be emailed to you prior to the start of the course\, but please bring along: \n\nSketch book or note book\, fine tip pens\, collier pencils\, watercolour\, pencil\, sharpener and eraser • Transparent plastic ruler with clearly marked measurements  • Reading glasses if you need to use them!\nOur studio will provide for use in this workshop: Dissecting kits with forceps\, scalpel\, dissecting needles; magnifying lenses with lights; microscopes. \n\nLearning Outcomes \n\nA greater understanding of plant structure\nTechniques for dissecting and examining flowers and other plant parts\nSteps involved in observing and documenting botanical specimens\nAn understanding of botanical terminology commonly used for plant identification\nAn appreciation for the beauty and complexity of plants around us\nA series of labelled drawings of plant parts\nInk drawing inspired by parts of a plant\n\nAbout the Tutor \nDr Tanya Scharaschkin is a botanist\, artist and teacher.
