A Profusion of Palms - Guided Walk - City Botanic Gardens

Please note: Ticketing for this event will close at 12pm on Wednesday 18 September 2024.

Brisbane City Botanic Gardens is home to some amazing palms. With a history dating back to the dinosaurs, palm species can be climbers, shrubs, stemless plants and trees. They are exploited for food, alcohol production, industrial products, shelter, horticulture and decoration. Worldwide, they feature in faith and symbolism. And they can be considered Olympians in the plant world. Think palms and tropical beaches? Think again!!
