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 28th January at Concord and on Zoom.

Our Speaker, Judith Watson, will take us on a tour of The National Orchid Garden, Singapore

One stunning section of the Singapore Botanic Gardens is the National Orchid Garden. Over 1000 species of orchids and 2000 hybrids are on display here. Approximately half of this garden was closed for several years while redevelopment took place. The new facilities are exceptional and include the Sembcorp Cool House which houses orchids from five geographical regions from high altitudes. The Tan Hoon Siang Mist House has been expanded and shows lower growing orchids alongside many tropical plants. There is also The Yuen Peng McNeice Bromeliad Collection which displays many different genera of bromeliads in a beautifully landscaped setting alongside aroids, orchids and other tropicals. Come on a walk through this remarkable garden to see some of its treasures.
