NSW:Royal Botanic Gardens gets expert advice
As it heads towards its 200th birthday, Sydney's Royal Botanic Gardens is hoping a
team of international experts can help it gain world-wide acclaim.
A peer review team, comprising professors and experts from gardens in Berlin, the US
and the UK, as well as the former executive director of Taronga Zoo GUY COOPER, will inspect
the gardens today and examine their overall management.
The Sydney attraction turns 200 in 2016, and executive director Professor DAVID MABBERLEY
says he wants the milestone to be accompanied by an increase in visitors and recognition
as one of the world's best gardens.
He says it's critical for the gardens to have ongoing success, not only for Sydneysiders'
enjoyment, but for the ongoing protection of plant species.
