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.

Meet the Directors and Managers of Myall Park Botanic
Garden Ltd, volunteers who donate thousands of hours to the Garden each
year, working from their homes as well as travelling long distances to
attend meetings and working bees on site. |

develop the Garden. A subscription form appears on our brochure.

We also receive valuable hands-on help from our
Friends in many ways. Director Peter Reilly organises a wonderful
group of Friends to visit annually during autumn to spend several days
toiling in the Garden. This is help that really makes a visible
difference! If you'd like to join in, call Peter on 07 5537

page or the Friends newsletter for details
Various
SGAP groups also assist. (See Qld Society for Growing Australian Plants at

responsibility for certain areas of the Garden. To find out more, please
