On Wednesday evening experts will be on hand to guide you around the Garden to collect samples of the moths that appear as darkness falls.

Two popular events sponsored by the Society which will have a stall at the Rare Plant Fair.  Volunteers are needed to help run the stall, if you can help please contact Caroline Peel on 872375.

The May meeting of Café Botanique will feature a talk by Rachael Graham on The Extraordinary Diversity of Island Echium Species.

There will be a celebration to mark the completion of the Australia Terraces rock wall on Friday 6th April at 12 noon.  Joe Caudwell will be playing Aboriginal music on his didgeridoo to accompany the traditional burning of herbs ceremony.

By now you should have read the wonderful story of the enhancement of the rock infrastructure in the Australian Terraces and the construction of the Dream Time Boulder to create a gateway into the area.  In November Nigel George and his team returned to add the finishing touches in the form of handprints of Friends, volunteers and staff which were applied to both the new boulder and the original rock bank constructed in 2005.

All of this work was funded by the Ventnor Botanic Garden Friends’ Society.

The Annual General Meeting of the Ventnor Botanic Garden Friends’ Society will be held in the Echium Room at Ventnor Botanic Garden on Thursday 19 April 2018 at 7pm.

The minutes of last years meeting are available here.   Minutes AGM 20.4.2017
