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 26th August on Zoom only.
Speaker: Gordon Cheers will speak on the topic "Fact from fiction of knowing and growing carnivorous plants in Sydney"
Gordon used to own a wholesale carnivorous plant nursery. He went on to publish some books on Carnivorous plants including Carnivorous Plants (1983), A Guide to Carnivorous Plants of the World (1993) and Killer Plants and How to Grow Them (1997). This last book was a children’s book and won the Children's Book of the Year Award: Eve Pownall Award for Information Books in 1997.
If you are unable to attend in person you can register via Eventbrite to watch on Zoom. Link coming soon.
