Botany for Beginners

Join this 90-minute workshop for plant enthusiasts and amateur botanists and learn how to identify some of NSW’s most iconic and common plant families.

We will look at examples of:

• Myrtaceae – includes eucalypts and bottlebrushes
• Proteaceae – includes banksias and grevilleas
• Fabaceae – includes peas and wattles
• Asteraceae – includes paper daisies
• Ferns and other non-flowering plants

Gain practical skills that will help you better understand and recognise plants in gardens, bushland and everyday landscapes.
