Sun 26 Jul 2015

Sunday, 26 July is National Tree Day and time to celebrate our significant trees. The Adelaide and Wittunga Botanic Gardens are wonderful natural resources. Adelaidians are asked to take part in the National Tree day celebrations. This is an opportunity to discover some beautiful and significant trees right in our midst.



Discover our Significant Trees
At Adelaide Botanic Garden you can take a free one-hour guided walk and discover some of the garden's most significant trees. With thanks to the Friends of the Botanic Gardens of Adelaide (2-3pm). Once the walk is finished, the National Tree Day celebrations continue with a tree planting (Eucalyptus camaldulensis or river red gum) at Botanic Park (3pm).


**
Wittunga Botanic Garden, Blackwood**
Earlier on at Wittunga Botanic Garden in suburban Blackwood, the Friends are also hosting a one-hour guided walk. The walk will celebrate Wittunga's wonderful wattles (10:30-11:30am). Following that, you can watch on as an Acacia pycantha (golden wattle) is planted and added to Wittunga's collection (11:30am).



20 years of National Tree Day
2015 marks 20 years of Planet Ark's National Tree Day celebrations, which began to give Australians an opportunity to do something positive for their local environment and community, and to reconnect with nature. More than three-million people have planted 21 million trees and plants as part of National Tree Day since the first one in 1996.
