THEME OF CONFERENCE

The conference theme is based upon the exploration, discovery and distribution of Australian and South Pacific species arising from Banks and Solander’s work.

Concepts such as: but not limited to:

    • The importance of botanic gardens to represent historical use of plants in the region;
    • What species are in your gardens that were identified by BnS;  Species that BnS left behind;
    • The value of plant hunting; Your local plant hunters; Will there be future plant hunters

We encourage topics and questions that are aligned with the conference theme but will consider other interesting ‘Friends’ related topics.
