Garden lovers in Orange will be treated to a fascinating talk on the world’s best botanic gardens by one of Australia’s most celebrated botanists, Dr Tim Entwisle. A guest of the Central West Branch of the Royal Society of NSW, Dr Entwisle will visit Orange on Friday 15 October for a public lecture hosted by Charles Sturt University (CSU). As Executive Director of the Sydney Botanic Gardens Trust, NSW Government Botanist and Adjunct Professor in the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Sydney, Dr Tim Entwisle is a regular guest on ABC Radio. “To Dr Entwisle, botanic gardens are all about ‘planting ideas’ - interpreting and studying plants from around the world to understand, appreciate and celebrate the importance of plants to life,” Head of Campus at CSU in Orange, Professor Kevin Parton said.
