FRIENDS, VOLUNTEERS & SPONSORS Myall Park Botanic Garden is owned and run as a community project by  MPBG Ltd, a non-profit company of volunteers.          We thank all the generous Volunteers, Friends and Sponsors for their help.    Many individuals and groups help us in the Garden. We welcome your queries, ideas or offers.   Your visits to our Garden help us with essential maintenance. You can also help by joining our Friends, coming to our working bees, or purchasing our merchandise.   Donations to our Gift Fund are tax deductible and can be either money or gift of goods.
Volunteers Our governing body is a board of directors. Together with the caretaker and administrative assistant they take care of the business of the Garden in all its facets, applying for grants, organising Open Days and other special occasions, and many other jobs. Several of our directors knew and worked with Dave and Dorothy Gordon in their lifetime, and carry on work for the Garden with the same motives and aims. Thousands of hours of voluntary work are gladly given to the Garden each year, and each year we find more people offering to help us realise the ideals of our mission statement.
MISSION STATEMENT Preserve Australian flora, especially those species from arid and semi arid regions and the rare and threatened. Promote conservation, education, research and development to preserve genetic biodiversity and ensure the sustainability of species and ecosystems.  Monitor naturally occurring flora. Foster the arts. Maintain the unique history and spirit of the development of Myall Park Botanic Garden
