SUMMARY:Anna Howe ‘Southern California meets Australian Native in Canberra in the 1970s’
DESCRIPTION:Anna will look at how the influence of southern Californian ideas for town planning and architecture were overtaken by Australian native garden movement in in Canberra. Some shared characteristics of both areas now face some common challenges that raise concerns about the future of our Bush Capital. \nAbstract \n	The growth of Canberra in the 1970s saw many ideas of town planning and architecture transplanted from southern California. Transplanted elements of garden design and landscaping were however soon overtaken as the emergence Australian native garden movement that saw local indigenous plants spread in private gardens and public landscaping. Some shared environmental and botanical characteristics however mean that both areas now face some common challenges that raise concerns about the future of our Bush Capital. \nBiography  \n	Anna Howe PhD\n	Anna’s BA and MA were in urban geography\, and her PhD at Monash was a geographical analysis of systems of aged care in Melbourne which took her into a career in research and policy work in ageing and aged care.  Anna retired about 12 years ago and moved back to Canberra around that time. Anna lived here in 1975 when she worked in the Department of Urban and Regional Development\, and again from 1989-93 when she was head of the Office for the Aged in the Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing. Anna is finding many avenues for exploration of trees\, parks and gardens through the National Trust\, the Australian Garden History Society and the Arboretum as well as the ANBG Friends. \nBooking Link: https://www.trybooking.com/CTFXD \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/CTFXD  \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.
