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 25th March at Concord and on Zoom.

Professor Michelle Leishman will discuss 'Facilitating nature-rich urban green spaces for the future'.

Our urban green spaces provide a wide range of services, from improving air and water quality, to providing cooling from extreme heat, improving people's health outcomes, and providing habitat for biodiversity. Yet these critical urban green spaces are increasingly threatened by urbanisation and climate change. This talk looks at how we can make our urban green spaces more resilient and bring nature back into our cities.

Professor Leishman is Distinguished Professor of Biology and Director, Smart Green Cities Research Centre at Macquarie University
