The Botanic Gardens team celebrated an important year on Thursday, July 29 with a visit to the amazing subTropical Exotics private nursery, a place that specialises in the wonderful world of Araceae (Aroids), including Anthuriums, Philodendrons, Monsteras and many other subtropical species.
The team enjoyed a detailed presentation by nursery owner Wayne Lyons including an explanation of the nursery’s “living wall of Aroids”.

Inevitably there was time for a bit of plant purchasing at the Spectrum Plants nursery which was conveniently next door to subTropical Exotics.
The Botanic Gardens team went on to enjoy a fun “Christmas In July” luncheon at the themed Fox & Hounds English/Irish style pub on the Tamborine Oxenford Road.
