Plant Recognition Group Workshop – Visit to the STEP garden
You are here
Monday, 13 October 2025 - 1:30pm to 3:30pm
The next Plant Recognition Group workshop will be a bit different as we will visit the Southern Tablelands Ecosystems Park (Forest 20) at the National Arboretum, which grows different species of eucalypt trees, shrubs, herbs and grasses typically found in the Southern Tablelands region of New South Wales and the ACT. We will be looking in particular at the Fabaceae or pea species that have been planted here.
We are fortunate that Bill Handke, Committee Member of STEP and Member of the Pea Flower Study Group of the Australian Native Plant Society (or PeaNuts) has kindly agreed to show us around.
Hand lenses will be available but please bring your own if you have one.
When: Monday 13 October 13.30 – 15.30.
Where: Meet at the entrance to the STEP Garden at the bottom of the main carpark at the Arboretum at 13.25.
Bookings ESSENTIAL: Please send your name and phone number to plantname@friendsanbg.org.au We will be able to accommodate a slightly larger group for this visit but need to know who will be attending.
Please advise at least a day in advance if you need to cancel your booking, so that a member on the waiting list can be offered the place.
