Venture into the Gardens to hear unbelievable facts and stories about plants and places within the Botanic Garden gates.

There will be stories of plant discoveries, plants doing unbelievable things and tales of how our scientists here at the Botanic Gardens are contributing to plant conservation and knowledge in Australia and across the globe. The twist? You to decide for yourselves whether the tales are true or not – or how much truth is in them. Be amazed and surprised by the whacky world of plants.

Where: Meet at Conservatorium Gate, Royal Botanic Garden Sydney (near the corner of Macquarie St and Conservatorium Road just south of the Edward V11 statue if you put that landmark in Google Maps). A map of Conservatorium Gate can be found on our website here.
