Pollinator Week at the Garden

Come and celebrate the unique world of pollinators and learn about the wide range of species found at the Garden.

Pollinators play an important role in every ecosystem. They range in size from tiny wasps and ants to mammals such as flying foxes and sugar gliders.

During Pollinator Week, we will host a variety of science-based events, including:

  • expert talks on science and gardening
  • honey tasting
  • guided walks
  • photographic exhibition
  • kids' craft activities.
