All life depends on plants but they are often taken for granted in our everyday lives. ‘Botanic Gardens: Modern-Day Arks’… will reveal how a global network is striving to save our botanical heritage.

Veronique Bosson-Leemreyze will share the big picture of what Botanic Gardens’ purpose has been in history, past, present and future with glimpses of many Botanic Gardens around Australia.

Dale Arvidsson will speak about the importance of our local Mackay Regional Botanic Gardens within this network (safeguarding flora and fauna species; saving resources on which we may soon depend) and the future plans of our Botanic Gardens.

Those interested in coming please contact the Mackay Regional Botanic Gardens on 49527300 or email botanic@mackay.qld.gov.au so we can include you in the catering for supper.
