Have you been to the Sherwood Arboretum recently?  Big changes have occurred in recent times in preparation for the 100 year celebration!  Come and join us!!
The Friends of Brisbane Botanic Gardens has been invited to have a stall at the community event from 2pm – 5pm on Sunday 23 March 2025.
Can anyone supply small pots of plants – herbs, vegies, shrubs, grasses, flowering plants etc for this event?  Please have the name of the plant, type of plant e.g climber/shrub/herb etc, conditions for planting e.g. sunny/filtered light etc and place these details on a sticker on the pot.  Check that the plants are not invasive nor weeds – see https://weeds.brisbane.qld.gov.au/weeds as a reference.  Could you please deliver your plants on Thursday 20 March before 10am to contact Julie via Secretary@fbbgsa.org.au.
Mr Fothergill’s Seeds have generously supplied us with seed packets (use by dates are August 2025) to give out to the attendees – adults and children.
We require helpers to attach a Business card with our name and QR code (for access to our website) on both the pots and the seed packets prior to the event – date Thursday 20 March at 10am contact Julie via Secretary@fbbgsa.org.au   
Also volunteers are required to assist on the stall for 30 mins to 1 hour on the day. We estimate 30 volunteers will be required (set up and pack up as well as during the event) in total.  At this stage the number of attendees is unknown.  We would like a minimum of 3 people on the stall at all times. 
Drinks will be supplied and we hope to supply an umbrella for cover.  We do have white Tshirts with the Brisbane Lily design for volunteers to wear and keep. 
Please RSVP to Secretary@fbbgsa.org.au if you are interested in supplying plants; attaching business cards; and / or volunteering on the stall on 23 March and a preferred time slot. Please also advise your size for the Tshirt.   
Any questions please contact Julie on 0455 512 302.
