Know, grow, protect and enjoy South Africa's indigenous plants

Join our BotSoc Plant Conservation Webinars, where you’re invited to listen to topics that are newsworthy, fascinating or simply fun. On the last Thursday of every month, between 17:00 and 18:00, we chat to the experts via Zoom on topics relating to our mantra: To know, grow, protect and enjoy indigenous plants. And you’re invited to participate during these interactive webinars, to ensure your questions are answered by the presenting team. 

To join the Zoom events, become a BotSoc member, and we’ll email the registration link to you monthly.
