Plants deserve our ‘love letters’ – they are so essential to all our lives. Highlights include:
Wildly imaginative installations of prismatic light and fun creative workshops by Skunk Control, a team of scientists and artists from Victoria University.
A wall dedicated to paintings from the private collection of much-loved Australian horticulturist and gardening writer, the late Shirley Stackhouse OAM.
Plantasia, an album by American pioneer musician Mort Garson recorded especially for the listening enjoyment of plants.
Rare and unusual plants propagated from the Botanic Garden will also be on sale.
The exhibition runs from Saturday 25 July – Sunday 2 August 2020 at historic Lion Gate Lodge (off Mrs Macquaries Road) in the Royal Botanic Garden and is suitable for all members of the family.
Entry is free of charge and all artworks are for sale.
