You can find the October 2024 edition of Library Connect HERE. It has the usual listing of new books, a few articles for your interest and an invitation to browse some books which are ‘free to good home’. The books are good quality discards not required in the library collection. These books are updated regularly so, even if you’ve already had a look, it’s worth checking again!  If you require any assistance with accessing the library resources, please give Alex a call on 02 6250 9480 or email her.

The Spring Sale was held on Saturday 12 October and, like previous sales, was a great success. Around 1100 plants were sold in less than 30 minutes. Some people knew precisely which plants they wanted and headed straight for them while others sought advice from the Growing Friends ‘gurus’. Everyone seemed happy with their purchases and keen to plant them out.

On Saturday 28 September the awardees at the Student Photography Competition received their prizes and certificates from Neville Page, President of the Friends of the ANBG, and Dr Rebecca Pirzl, Branch Head Science and the ANBG, Department of Climate Change, Energy, Environment and Water. Their photos, taken within the Gardens, are now on display in the Banksia Garden and on the Competition's page on this website.
