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.
