Endangered now hangs at the Australian Botanic Gardens Mount Annan – within the Australian Institute of Botanic Science’s National Herbarium of New South Wales. The Herbarium houses more than 1.4 million plant specimens, ensuring our collection of preserved plant specimens is maintained for scientific purposes, including plant conservation and creating climate ready native plants.
When I created this piece I couldn’t have dreamt of it ending up at the Australian Botanic gardens let alone at the Plant Bank of Australia. I hope it continues to inspire us to carry on the fight to protect these vulnerable species.
The unveiling was attended by Denise Ora – CEO of Botanic Gardens of Sydney, Pr. Brett Summerell – Chief Scientist and Director of Science, Education, and Conservation, Peter Thomas, CEO of Foundation & Friends of the Botanic Gardens, and of course, Gail Dilm – purchaser & donor of long-term supporter of Foundation & Friends.
