SUMMARY:Open House: Burrendong and beyond
DESCRIPTION:Rejuvenating a National Treasure: The Burrendong Botanic Garden and Arboretum \nThe Burrendong Botanic Garden and Arboretum (BBGA) occupies a unique place in Australia’s horticultural history as the nation’s first botanic garden dedicated exclusively to Australian plants. Renowned for its legacy collections spanning many major plant groups\, the garden has nevertheless fallen into decline and is now in urgent need of renewal. This illustrated talk explores BBGA’s remarkable story and outlines a clear\, practical vision for its rejuvenation and renewed prominence. \nThe talk on Thursday May 14\, 2026 at 2pm in the Elliot Centre\, will be presented by John Arnott\, well known to the Cranbourne Friends and our current Vice President. \nJohn brings decades of experience from leading public gardens including Melbourne Zoo\, Geelong Botanic Gardens and Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne. He is the principal author of BBGA’s Living Collections Plan and a familiar voice as a regular host and presenter on the 3CR Gardening Show. \nAs it is an Open House event\, it is free and open to Members only. \nAfternoon tea will be provided following the presentation.
