Botanical Garden Display Development and Management

Expert advice is available for both the development and management of botanical displays. Since the early 1980s I have been working with botanical displays of international renown and have worked throughout the Australasia, Asia and Middle East regions. 

My experience to date has included close involvement in the establishment and management of two major botanical displays in Australia being the Alice Springs Desert Park and the Australian National Botanic Gardens and the development of a major display in Oman, the Oman Botanic Garden, and an arboretum in Australia, the Canberra International Arboretum and Gardens. This work has included the initial development of concepts, selection of consultants for master and detailed planning, the recruitment of initial staff, decisions on the collections and the landscapes, collection of propagation material and the initial plantings. In addition, I have provided advice on the establishment of other gardens in Jordan, Abu Dhabi, India, Indonesia and China. I have worked both as a part of the contract team providing the planning and as a part of the client team assessing the plans prepared by consultants.
