Workshops on local tree identification, bonsai for beginners and botanical illustration will be held on Saturday fom 9.30am as a lead up to the main event on Sunday.
Sunday will see a full day of activities with displays and workshops, plant stalls, children’s activities, guided tours and walks.
Some of the highlights of Sunday’s program will be creating your own insect hotel; early settlers guided walks followed by billy tea and damper and how to make a no-dig garden.
Children can explore their creativity on the botanical chalk walk, get their hands dirty in the potting workshop or be transformed with botanical face painting.
The five-seater People Mover will be running garden tours throughout the day and plenty of food will be available.
There will be stalls selling a variety of plants from carnivorous to natives, demonstrations on propagation and caring for bromeliads and orchids, as well as a working vintage farm machinery display by Rusty Iron Machinery.
Please join the Friends of the Botanic Garden in this celebration of all things botanical.
