Home
The Tropical Garden Society of Sydney has the goal of fostering interest in growing tropical plants in a subtropical climate. It aims to educate and share information through expert presentations. It also provides access to plants that are not readily available in Sydney. Regular meetings are held in a central location and have a friendly, informal and non-competitive atmosphere. New members are very welcome.
Our next meeting is scheduled for 7:30 pm Tuesday 28th October at Concord and on Zoom.
Speaker: David Fripp will give a presentation with the topic "Plants that are almost not Plants".
What is the definition of a plant? This Kingdom has inhabited the planet long before animals and have developed novel, even bizarre strategies to inhabit often severe environments. Some examples that push the boundaries.
David Fripp is a plant collector and nurseryman who should be well known to our members who visited the Living Edge garden at Peats Ridge in the past or have seen him at the Plant Collectors Fair at Kariong.
If you are unable to attend in person you can register via Eventbrite to watch on Zoom. Link coming soon.
