Join Dr Leonie Scriven, Deputy Director Collections, on a leisurely walk around Adelaide Botanic Garden to explore some of the proposed initiatives in the new Adelaide Botanic Garden Masterplan.

Visit the locations where the newly funded building projects are going to occur over the next twelve months and discover what is being planned.

Along the way, Leonie will also share insights into the proposals for the renewal of several plant collections and invite you to join the conversation by sharing what is special to you about the Garden.

Uncover the many exciting opportunities to be involved with the Garden and shaping its future.
