In conjunction with Playgroup Victoria, the Marketing and Communications and RBG Melbourne Public Programs branches organised a Nature Play Day at The Ian Potter Foundation Children’s Garden on 15 March 2011. This inaugural event was attended by 471 parents and children. The event showcased the Children’s Garden to one of our key audiences – parents of young children – with many attendees visiting the Children’s Garden for the first time. In February 2011, the Marketing and Communications branch and the RBG Cranbourne Horticulture branch organised a special event for the Horticultural Media Association (HMA) to provide an on-site update about the Australian Garden Stage 2. The event was attended by 65 HMA members and included presentations by the Royal Botanic Gardens’ Director and Chief Executive and the Manager, Horticulture, at RBG Cranbourne. Two Horticulture Technicians from RBG Cranbourne attended the International Plant Propagators Society (IPPS) conference in Sydney where ideas were shared about propagation, industry products and Myrtle Rust. Staff continued to work with Conservation Volunteers Australia to undertake educational conservation works, such as island restoration, at RBG Melbourne. RBG Melbourne hosted a French student for an industry work placement with the Horticulture branch from 28 March to 20 May 2011. The student was from the National School of Higher Studies in Nature and Landscape Architecture in Blois, France. The aim of her placement was to work with and learn about Australian plants as a core element in her curriculum. The Public Programs branch contributed to development of a new national professional development network for botanic gardens staff engaged in public programs, education, visitor services and volunteers. The Botanic Gardens Education Network (Australia and New Zealand) (BGEN) was launched in October 2010. page 54
