Botanic Gardens month

Botanic Gardens month (1-31 May) is an annual celebration to shed light on the role of plants in our lives and the important work botanic gardens undertake every day to conserve them for future generations.

For the month of May, Botanic Gardens Australia and New Zealand Inc (BGANZ) #PlantLoversChallenge encourages everyone to share their love of and passion for plants by posting photos, short videos, stories, poetry, songs or other creative pursuits, to social media with a short message about what plants mean to you and how plants influence your life, using hashtags #PlantLoversChallenge and #BotanicGardensDay.
