Acknowledgment of Country
We honour and respect all Elders and Traditional Custodians of the lands the Botanic Gardens of Sydney stand on. We acknowledge the lands as significant historical, ceremonial and traditional trade grounds.
Our Engagement Strategy and Reconciliation Action Plan is a pledge to work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, organisations and communities to help build prosperity and security for the future.
Gardens are often carefully planned and designed outdoor spaces where plants are the stars of the show. In other words, they are works of living art!
What is the difference in illustrating for art and illustrating for science?
Meet the people who lead our mission to advance plant conservation and promote enjoyment of the Gardens' beautiful green spaces.
Sculpture is art in 3D. The artwork is often carved in stone or wood or formed in metal or clay.
The Garden features many rare species, spectacular cool climate trees, seasonal colour, historically significant plantings and tranquil spaces for picnics or forest bathing.
