Projects
Since the Friends were established, we have not only provided funds for plants but also for specific projects, talks and artworks. The projects financed by the Friends have resulted in considerable improvements over the years to further enhance the visitors’ enjoyment of the garden. Many of the projects funded by the Friends are illustrated in the gallery below. Click on any image to view a larger version of the photo and a caption. Navigate by clicking on the left or right arrows.
Here is a time-lapse video clip by Fred Smith of 'Fungate' - one of our more recent projects - being installed. Also, here is a video clip of our patron, Sir Thomas Allen opening 'Fungate' on 5th September 2019. To celebrate its 50th Anniversary, we commissioned a decorative map of the Botanic Garden from artist Juliet Percival.
