Nature in the Garden Talk in Mandarin

Join us at Rhodes as the sun sets over the Parramatta River for a Nature Talk conducted by Leicia Peterson, delivered in Mandarin language.

Leicia will go through native plants commonly found in home gardens, local wildlife such as birds, possums and bush turkeys and practical ways we can live alongside them. Leicia will combine her own photography and ecology with stories of First Nations traditions and Australian History.

The talk will begin at 6:30pm, with refreshments served from 6:15pm
