Colour in winter, 2022

Colour in Winter 2022: a Winter walk developed by Pam Cooke, Kay Saunders and Glenys Bishop, August 2022
Theme: The ANBG is proud to be a place to display Australian plants and one of the characteristics of these plants is that the vast majority of them are evergreen, keeping their leaves over winter.  So the Australian landscape at this time of the year looks very different to the bleak views in the northern hemisphere winter.
Here the landscape is dominated by green foliage. But there is colour in our winter plants and on this walk, we shall find some of the colours, not all of which are flowers.By the end of the walk we want visitors to appreciate that native plants exhibit some glorious colours even in winter and to understand what contributes to the colours of the leaves, berries, seeds and flowers.

Colour in winter, 2020

Colour in Winter: a Winter walk developed by Kay Saunders, Kerry Moir, Pam Cooke and Glenys Bishop, August 2020
Theme: Generally people don’t associate colour with gardens in winter, thinking of them as rather drab at this time. However, in this walk we can see all the colours of the rainbow plus a few others in these gardens.
We have selected a COVID-safe route following roads, avoiding the main path and stopping where there is ample room for visitors to stand apart. Newaddition 15 August 2020
