Our Membership

Currently 51 Friends of Botanic Gardens groups from capital city, suburban and rural and regional botanic gardens and a few Arboreta.  The individual groups vary in size and complexity from a membership of 20 Friends to approximately 3000.

All States and two New Zealand Botanic Gardens are represented, however for historical reasons the majority of Botanic Gardens Friends groups are in Victoria.
