Winter Solstice Talks

Our first speaker at the Winter Solstice Talks is Stuart Read, the Chair of the AGHS Sydney Branch. Stuart will give a talk on "The history of garden design using native plants", discussing the history of Australian garden design using native plants, including waves of fashions (it didn't just start in the 1960s), players who were influential, and examples of gardens that remain so. 

Ruth Bailey is our second speaker and for the past 4 years Ruth has been the Chair of the AGHS-SHB Committee.  Ruth has a particular interest in recording the significant gardens in the Southern Highlands and in her presentation, she will tell the story of Thrushwood - The Evolution of a Plant Collectors’ Garden.
