Friends of the Australian National Botanic Gardens

The free exhibition ‘Floral Impressions: Coins in Bloom’ is open daily at the Royal Australian Mint, running until March 2027. The exhibition curator Meredith Trinko shares her favourite pieces and discusses how she identified three distinct ways coin designers over the centuries have used flowers and plants.

The Australian Lamiaceae are a large family of plants, including Prostanthera, Westringia and Plectranthous, which are well represented in the ANBG collection.

With an early warm spring upon us there is plenty of action in the Gardens be it avian, apian, botanic or arachnid! See you at 8.40 am at the ANBG bus stop.

This talk will discuss some of the programmes set up to rehabilitate peatlands after the fires of 2019/20, as well as the recovery of Sphagnum Shrub Bogs in the Alps more generally

The guest presenter at the next Photographic Group meeting will be Dr Veronica Briceno Rodriguez. Veronica is the Conservation Horticulture Manager at the Gardens and leads the development of the ANBG Threatened Species Conservation Framework.
