The Friends of the RBG (Royal Botanic Gardens) Melbourne bring you an Illustrated Talk by Dr Anne Vale . A not-for-profit organisation, Friends of RBG raise funds to support projects in the Royal Botanic Gardens of Melbourne.

This event will be held at the Mueller Hall National Herbarium, RBG Melbourne, Gate Lodge, 100 Birdwood Avenue, Melbourne on Wednesday 5 July 2017 from 6pm to 8pm (doors open at 6 for 6.30pm). It'll be $25 for non members, $20 for Friends and $10 for Students. CLICK HERE TO BOOK. Bookings close 30 June. Refreshments will be served before the talk. If you're a gardening enthusiast, you may just love to join and become a member of The Friends.

Australia's 'Mind Shapers and Garden Creators' (think Edna Walling to Luis Barragan) who have influenced contemporary garden making, have themselves been influenced. Tim Entwisle, Jim Fogarty, Andrew Laidlaw and Jane Edmanson et al also have their own interpretation of what a garden is. The journeys of these influencers may be diverse, but perhaps they shared similar childhood experiences where they were encouraged to be permeated by the love of the scent of rosemary around the sandpit, or planting carrots as a five year old, or running free in the Australian bush. Come along and discover where all these collective influences came from as they offer us a wealth of ideas and individual thought processes in our approach to garden-making in the 21st Century.

Friends of RBG host many an interesting event. From the Natural Dye Craft Group to Botanic Art, to Basketry Craft Group and Kid's School Holiday Card Workshops, there's many to choose from. You just have to go to their Event Page to book other events that may interest you.
