I discovered the Australian Garden History Society (AGHS) the other day during an online search for garden expos in Brisbane and South East Queensland.
Their website explains succinctly who they are and what they do: “Formed in 1980, the AGHS brings together people united by an appreciation of and concern for our parks, gardens and cultural landscapes as part of Australia’s heritage. The Society promotes knowledge of historic gardens and research into their history. It aims to examine gardens and gardening in their widest social, historic, literary, artistic and scientific context.”
Kind of handy with the research I’ve been doing on Walter Hill and the Brisbane City Botanic Gardens for my SignatureBrisbane Seed Grant project Botanica (working title)…
