SUMMARY:Botanic Gardens Day (Aust/NZ) and 40th Anniversary Event - FREE ENTRY
DESCRIPTION:Hunter Region Botanic Gardens is celebrating its 40th anniversary so Botanic Gardens Day (Aust/NZ) is extra special for us this year! Our Art Space Gallery has many of our archival photos on display. There will be an official address commencing at 11.00am in the Environment Pavilion with original members of the Gardens who began it all 40 years ago sharing their stories. \nWe have a range of special talks on throughout the day. Topics covered are Bonsai\, succulents\, orchids\, native ponds\, grevilleas\, rainforests\, bush foods\, birds and bees – they all have a story here at the Gardens\, so stay for the day and don’t miss out on anything! \nBotanic Gardens are so much more than just a park with trees. Our Gardens are run entirely by volunteers who put all their passion and knowledge into the choosing and growing of the plants here on display. Scientific research is part of the Gardens\, too\, and there are limited tours available to our herbarium on the day (usually closed to the public). \nIn conjunction with Botanic Gardens Australia\, there is a Grow Your Health Challenge with some great prizes to be won and it ties in very nicely with our new Mindfulness Walk that was launched here at the Gardens in March this year. This will help you make the most out of your experience. \nYou will be entertained by our wandering minstrels\, food will be available at our sausage sizzle\, Kookaburra Cafe and scone stall\, or bring a picnic. \nTake home a plant\, join Hunter Region Botanic Gardens as a member\, or sign up as a volunteer. \nThis is a FREE event but donations are very welcome. (Did you know the Hunter Region Botanic Gardens is not Council-run and receives no on-going government funding? We rely on our entry fees and event days to raise funds to keep us going. Donations\, sponsorship and bequests are gratefully received. Ask today how you can help Grow our Gardens.) \nWe value the support our community has given us for the past 40 years. Let’s celebrate together! \nClick here to book your FREE Tickets \nhttps://events.humanitix.com/botanic-gardens-day-aust-nz-and-40th-anniversary \n
