The Tropical Garden Society of Sydney has the goal of fostering interest in growing tropical plants in a subtropical climate. It aims to educate and share information through expert presentations. It also provides access to plants that are not readily available in Sydney. Regular meetings are held in a central location and have a friendly, informal and non-competitive atmosphere. New members are very welcome.
Our next meeting is scheduled for 7:30 pm Tuesday 22nd July
At Concord and on Zoom.
Our speaker is Jarryd Kelly who will speak on the topic "Royal Botanic Garden Sydney Tropical Plant Collection and the Conservation of Amorphophallus titanum (Corpse Flower)"
Jarryd Kelly is the Curator Manager of the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney and The Domain, where he leads the horticultural and ecological stewardship of one of Australia’s most iconic green spaces. Jarryd is known for his hands-on leadership in plant conservation and public education. He has played a pivotal role in high-profile horticultural events, including the cultivation and pollination of the rare and endangered Amorphophallus titanum, commonly known as the Corpse Flower. His efforts in this area have helped raise awareness about plant biodiversity and conservation. Jarryd will be speaking about this and the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney’s Tropical Collection.
If you are unable to attend in person you can register via Eventbrite to watch on Zoom. Link available soon.
