SUMMARY:Guided Walks - What is it about Wattles?
DESCRIPTION:What is it about Wattles? \n1 – 7 September\, 11am & 2pm daily\, Free \nWe welcome wattles as spring approaches but are you aware how very many species there are and how widespread they are? Why their foliage differs so much? How those golden ‘balls’ are formed? Take a free guided one-hour walk to get some answers to these and other questions and see a wealth of wattles in flower at this time of year. \nMeet at the flag near the Café bridge. No booking required for individuals\, but groups of more than six people should contact walks@friendsanbg.org.au a week before the planned walk.

SUMMARY:Dr Rod Griffin ‘Uses of Acacia from Perfumery to Pulpwood … and some things we don’t yet know about their Reproductive Biology’
DESCRIPTION:Little has been invested into research into the benefits of Australian species of Acacia\, compared to Australian eucalypts. Rod\, a Research Associate at University of Tasmania\, will share current research into the pollination ecology of some temperate acacia species. \nAbstract\n	Acacias provide many economic benefits around the world\, but little has been invested into research into the benefits of Australian species\, especially compared to Eucalypts. Rod\, a Research Associate at University of Tasmania\, will share current research into the pollination ecology of some temperate acacia species. \nBiography\n	Rod is a Research Associate at the School of Natural Sciences\, at University of Tasmania\, with a Ph.D. in forest genetics. He supports tree breeding programs in SE Asia\, South America and Africa and focuses on genetic diversity and seed production of Eucalyptus and Acacia. \nBooking link: https://www.trybooking.com/DDEFF \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/DDEFF \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.
