roles of a botanic garden is to encourage and conduct research.

has grevillea and eucalypt projects in place.

works with the Queensland
University to provide testing and recording sites for new hybrids
that may prove to be suitable for 'low' water gardening.
-
is progressing the concept conceived in 1990 of establishing rare and
endangered species in the home garden.
