Meadowbank Garden Society
We meet on the first Monday each month at 7.15 pm in the St Thomas Church on the corner of St Heliers Bay and Kohimarama roads.
We welcome visitors and new members.
This month’s speaker:
Lesley Alexander is a botanical artist and President of the Botanical Art Society of New Zealand. She recently convened the Botanical Art Worldwide 2025 exhibition that showed at the Auckland Botanic Gardens. Lesley will talk about her watercolour paintings including a series of tillandsia watercolours that she was commissioned to paint.
Ahead of Lesley, we have Dian Timmins from the Bromeliad Society talking about the tillandsia group of bromeliads and how to care for them.
