Centenary Chat: Ian Warden ‘Tiptoe through the Telopeas: Why Marion Mahony Griffin would have boycotted Floriade’ Thursday, 31 January 2013 - 12:30pm

Ian Warden, Gang Gang columnist of the Canberra Times, will launch the 2013 lunchtime talks program, with a Centenary Chat on Marion Mahony Griffin’s enthusiasm for Australian native flora. January’s theme is Family and Friends in the Capital, appropriately, given the extent to which Marion’s enthusiasm for our native flora is shared by modern-day Canberrans; they flock to the Gardens each January to listen to music in a setting of magnificent eucalypts.
