Contents OUR SUPPORTERS Friends of the Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne Inc. The Friends of the Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne had another very successful year with tours to Anglesea (Victoria) and, in conjunction with the Melbourne Friends, a tour to the RHS Chelsea Flower Show and Gardens of Southern England. Members with the necessary skills helped organise and lead these tours. In the case of interstate and overseas trips, the assistance of a travel company was required which, in itself, necessitated considerable input from members. The Activities Committee developed and oversaw another year of successful activities including Discovery Days, workshops and special guest speakers. These activities provided a diverse selection of activities for members. Membership numbers gradually increased and are now well over 600. It is hoped that the proposed removal of entry fees to the Australian Garden will see an increased number of members visiting the Australian Garden. One of the key projects this year was the pending relocation of the Friends’ facilities following the redevelopment of the Depot at RBG Cranbourne. With possible sites still being discussed, the Friends will continue to work with RBG Cranbourne staff and look forward to the finalisation of development plans. Once again, significant emphasis was placed on the retention of funds raised in order to contribute to projects including the relocation of the Maud Gibson Room and its associated structures. Funds were raised through a number of avenues including the increasingly popular Botanical Illustrators Classes run by Margaret Holloway, plant sales of Australian plants to Friends’ members, and plant sales to the public at three plant sales over the year. The Friends also continued to propagate and provide plants free of charge for RBG Cranbourne’s Education programs and the City of Casey’s revegetation projects. Surpluses resulted from the Activities Program and the Annual Dinner. As with all activities, the financial benefit is often secondary to the support provided to RBG Cranbourne. Friends of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Melbourne Inc. The Friends were pleased to be able to make grants in excess of $153,000 to the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne during the year. These included $90,000 towards the Working Wetlands project, $11,006 for new lighting for Domain House which is used for exhibitions (and leased from the City of Melbourne by the Royal Botanic Gardens Board Victoria), $15,000 for a Plant Labelling Identification project, $12,385 to upgrade the Audio Visual equipment in Mueller Hall at the Herbarium, and a total of $12,055 for staff scholarships awarded to Trevor Gallagher, Chris Jenek, Dermot Molloy, Ollie Sherlock and Timothy Wall. Classes in Botanical Illustration continued to maintain popularity. Ten classes a week continued to run in eight-week terms and beginners’ workshops were held during each school holiday break. A number of special interest botanical workshops were also held during the year. The Growing Friends group held two successful public plant sales, with the spring sale coinciding with the Spring Open Day at RBG Melbourne and raising a total of $35,935.
