Illuminate '25 is the 12th annual exhibition by the Friends Photographic Group, showing in the Visitor Centre Gallery from Friday 21 November to Sunday 14 December.

The exhibition features captivating photographs taken within the Gardens, and of Australian fauna and flora in their natural environment. The works include plant portraits, close-up shots of flowers, birds and insects, intimate landscapes within the Gardens, and fauna from the Canberra region. 

All photographs on show are for sale – and they make great Christmas presents! Additional copies of some works can be ordered, and you can also choose from unframed prints, greeting cards, calendars and gift items by individual members. The exhibition is open daily from 9.30 am to 4.30 pm. Entry is free.
