Each year, the Arboretum invites Australian bonsai artists for the Bonsai Artist In Residence Program. In April, Matt Sharp joined us, bringing his enthusiasm for distilling elements of the Australian landscape into his work, along with his knowledge and passion for working with less traditional species.
The Arboretum comes together to celebrate the recent wins at the 2024 Australian Tourism Awards with a morning tea. This happy occasion brought together the wide variety of supporters to acknowledge their efforts and continuous dedication to the Arboretum and it's future.
Sustainability and accessibility are at the heart of what we do and are key to an uplifting and inclusive experience at the Arboretum. We are overjoyed to announce our Gold and Silver award wins at the Qantas Australian Tourism Awards 2024!
