    Success Stories

    We are pleased to report that popular volunteer Tania Smith, who worked closely with Accounting Officer Susie Satorie using MYOB in Finance and Administration at the Gardens, has secured promising employment within the Hunter Region.

    Tania is one of a number of our younger volunteers who have used the training and experience gained as a volunteer at the Botanic Gardens to enter or re-enter the workforce.

    Congratulations Tania and thank you for all your hard work.
