New Master Plan for the ANBG

In case you missed it in the weekend news, the Australian National Botanic Gardens has just released a new Master Plan for 2015 – 2035. See the ANBG website here and here for details. The  initiatives were welcomed by the Friends President Lesley Jackson. The Friends has an extensive group of active volunteers who work alongside paid gardens staff to fundraise and provide interpretive tours.

There is never a ‘wrong time’ to visit the Australian National Botanical Gardens, and there are some special winter treats on display.

Apart from the many beautiful banksias, grevilleas and hakeas in flower at the moment, it is wonderful to see the unusual flowers of the wind-pollinated sheoaks (casuarinas), several of which are rare or threatened species and can be seen around the Visitor Information Centre.
