Friends of the Australian National Botanic Gardens

The Friends of the Australian National Botanic Gardens increase community awareness of the scientific, educational, recreational and conservation functions of the Gardens, and provide activities for the benefit and pleasure of their members.

The Friends of the Gardens have established a Public Fund which aims to attract donations to finance worthwhile projects within the Gardens - projects of the kind that could not be financed from the Gardens’ budget.
