The Sceptical Botanist book launch

Join John Siemon, Director of Horticulture & Living Collections, Botanic Gardens Sydney, in conversation with Tim Entwisle for the launch of his new book, The Sceptical Botanist.

Through 50 beautifully crafted essays, former director of preeminent botanic gardens and self-confessed plant punk Tim Entwisle shines a gentle light on everyday questions about plants and gardens, guiding the reader through fact and fiction.

We'll sit down with Tim and chat through some of the questions he raises in his book: Do trees really talk to one another? Can a plant steal your oxygen while you sleep? What’s the difference between a native plant and a weed?

Celebrate the release of a book that promises to change the way you see your garden. Includes a glass of Taylors wine and some light nibbles
