Cranbourne Friends, Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria, is a vibrant group of more than 700 members who share a love of Australian plants and nature, and support Cranbourne Gardens.

Friends have a special involvement in the ongoing development of Cranbourne Gardens through the award-winning Australian Garden and the conservation of the important remnant bushland and its many creatures.

The Friends Group was officially launched in 1991 by a group of people who were keen to support the Gardens and foster its development. After 20 years we are a mixture of plant lovers, gardeners, landscape designers, environmentalists, photographers and nature lovers. The group is now a vibrant group of more than 700 members who share a love of Australian plants and nature, and raise funds to support the Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne.

Please read the Cranbourne Friends Rules which were adopted at our 2016 Annual General Meeting.
