Quotes by George Brown Darwin Botanic Gardens Director, Bryan Harty

“Botanic gardens are at the forefront of plant conservation and encourage and inspire gardening across the community.”

“During the past year, we have noticed people have developed a strong appreciation for what our botanic gardens have to offer as well as the health benefits of gardening.

“The open day will have something for everyone including the ever-popular annual Friends of Darwin Botanic Gardens plant sale, guided walks, a series of free talks, animal encounters, musical entertainment, food and drinks stalls and fun and information for kids and adults alike.

“This is a fantastic opportunity to chat with experts about your own garden with experts and gain some design inspiration during the guided walks or talks.

“The weather is perfect and there is no better time to get out and explore the beautiful Botanic Gardens.” 

The Open Day will run from 8am-1pm on Sunday 30 May. Additional parking is available on Gardens Road and Mindil Beach.
