The Friends Botanic Art Groups are showing us a new side of life with their latest exhibition at the Visitor Centre.

The Australian Native Wildlife exhibition will be open until 12 January 2020. It features over 150 original paintings, drawings and other works of Australian native wildlife, as well as greeting cards, bookmarks and other goods – many of them ideal as Christmas gifts.

The works are by artists from the Friends of the Australian National Botanic Gardens Botanic Art Groups. Many show off their talents as both wildlife and botanical illustrators with birds, animals, and insects shown in their native plant habitat.

The framed works can be collected immediately - if you purchase one as a gift there will be no need to wait until the exhibition closes.

The Visitor Centre will be open between 9:30am and 4:30pm every day except Christmas Day.

Growing Friends Autumn 2019 Sale

Mon, 18/11/2019 - 8:38pm — friendseditor

The Growing Friends’ 2019 Autumn sale was a record breaker – 1,400 plants for sale and takings of $7942, all of which will go towards Friends’ projects.

Canberra’s native plant growers were queued up well before the barriers went down at 8:30. Many of them had read the sale lists closely and had a good idea of what they wanted. There were other hopefuls who were looking for ‘something that will grow in Canberra clay and not need watering’. There are such plants, but they all need watering until they are established.
