What is a botanic garden and what makes a great one? Executive director of Sydney’s Botanic Gardens Trust, Entwisle, will tour the world illustrating some of the great, and not so great, botanic gardens. He will show examples where botanic gardens do not inspire visitors about plants, and why other gardens do it better. Along the way learn a little about the history of botanic gardens and why they are important to us today.
