21.01.2022 Supporters of Plant Trust, the Friends of the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne Inc. have kindly shared with their subscribers a little piece that our President, Stephen Ryan, wrote some time back entitled 'To Hold a Collection'. First published in 2015 in our member only quarterly, 'Genus', Stephen's writing and indeed the work of Plant Trust is just as relevant today as it was then. Have you considered joining us and supporting our initiatives? Our member application form is ...available here: http://planttrust.org.au/get-involved While you're at it, why not consider joining the Friends of the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria, whose work is equally important: https://www.rbgfriendsmelbourne.org/join-us/

03.01.2022 In today's The Age, "Rare plants add value, make statement in a garden" by contemporary design specialist Stephen Crafti. Stephen says... "a little investment in the quality of the plants and shrubs scattered around the fringes of a property especially if they are rare ...can pay off handsomely in the long run." Stephen talks to Peter Teese of Yamina Rare Plants, Plant Trust president Stephen Ryan of Dicksonia Rare Plants, and Brigid Robertson of Bolebek in the Macedon Ra...nges. When you’re purchasing rare or unusual plants, it’s not about the price. It’s the pleasure and seeing how they transform a garden, says Brigid, adding that many of her trees and plants are almost irreplaceable. We absolutely agree with Brigid's sentiment.

01.01.2022 Our friends, the Friends of Bendigo Botanic Gardens are holding a plant sale tomorrow, 9am until 2pm.
