The Friends of the Ballarat Botanical Gardens auspice the group of people who have come together to formulate proposals for the celebration of the 150th Anniversary of the Buninyong Botanic Gardens. This process was begun in June 2009 by Lorraine Powell who coordinated the excellent historical displays for the Ballarat Botanical Gardens 150th Anniversary in 2007. A dynamic committee of local identities will ensure the success of the gaieties and formalities.

Leaving a Legacy

The main commemorative event, entitled "Leaving a Legacy", will be celebrated on the weekend of the 29th and 30th of October 2011. Think food, music and an appreciation of the long history of these pleasure gardens. Please reserve this time to be part of the festivities.
