25.01.2022 Did you know that the products that you use to spray those pesky pest & diseases in your garden can have an impact on our biodiversity? Avoiding poisonous substances when dealing with pests not only protects the environment, it also protects pollinators, natural pest enemies, beneficial organisms, and animals that feed on plants, including us! We all have a role to play check out some of the things the team at the gardens do.... #iyph2020 #protectourthreatenedspecies #gardeningaustraliafans #rtbg #rtbgtasmania

19.01.2022 The spectacular Cymbidium Orchids are currently flowering in the Conservatory! Have you had a chance to pop in and take a look? #rtbg #rtbgtasmania #orchids #conservatory #localgardens #flowers #springtime

19.01.2022 Planning your annual check-up? Just as it is important for people to have regular check-ups at the doctor, plants need to be monitored regularly for pests and diseases. Catching problems early allows us to take preventative measures to keep our plant collections healthy. Monitoring is even more important with rising temperatures so we can catch and treat new pests and diseases that previously didn't survive in our climate before they become a problem. Do you monitor your plants? #IYPH2020 #hiddendangers #ProtectingPlantsProtectingLife #rtbg #rtbgtasmania

08.01.2022 We’ve all been thinking more about good hygiene lately to stay safe and healthy, but what about thinking about garden hygiene? As with human health, protecting plants from pests & diseases is far more cost-effective than dealing with full-blown emergencies. Plant pests & diseases are often impossible to eradicate once they have established, therefore prevention is critical. Check in with Chris to find out how we can work together to keep our plants pest and disease free. #IYPH2020 #hiddendangers #protectourthreatenedspecies #ProtectingPlantsProtectingLife

07.01.2022 Dreaming of your next interstate or overseas travel? Have you considered some uninvited guests may hitch a ride home with you? Rising temperatures and human activities have altered our ecosystems, reducing biodiversity and creating new niches where pests can thrive. Pests & diseases are one of the main drivers of biodiversity loss. International and interstate travel & trade can quickly spread pests & disease, potentially causing damage to native plants & the environment. Find out how the team at the Gardens are helping to keep out uninvited guests. #iyph2020 #hiddendangers #PlantSentinelsProject #protectingplantsprotectinglife #thinkbiosecurity
