The Friends love and support our beautiful Gardens – the world’s largest collection of Australian native plants.

Through our programs of talks, visits and social activities, our members and visitors meet, learn, grow and enjoy the riches of this very special place. Our special-interest groups are inspired by its unique artistic and scientific opportunities.

Since 1990 we have donated around $2 million for projects in the Gardens, and members actively contribute to its horticultural, educational and research programs as volunteers.

Some people knew precisely which plants they wanted and headed straight for them while others sought advice from the Growing Friends ‘gurus’. Everyone seemed happy with their purchases and keen to plant them out.
