Jubaea Guides – Make A Difference

Guiding is one of the most important activites offered to the community by the Friends of Geelong Botanic Gardens.

Ever though that you might like to become a volunteer Guide in the Geelong Botanic Gardens? Not sure what it involves or whether you would enjoy it?

The Friends are running a new guide training program in 2010.

The program will run on the first Moday morning of each month for 6 - 8 months.

Our first session will be an introduction to guiding, so if you've always wondered what it is all about and if guiding is for you, please let us know through the Friends Office and come along to our first session on Monday 1st March at 9:30am in the Friends meeting room.

The Daniel Bunce Gardening Book

The first curator of the Geelong Botanic Gardens is featured as a bollard near the 19th Century Garden Gate. Daniel Bunce was a plantsman, a businessman, an adventurer and an author. To acknowledge and celebrate his contribution to the Geelong Botanic Gardens, the Friends are pleased to make available new editions of his “Manual of Practical Gardening”. Learn more about the Daniel Bunce Gardening Book.

How Do I Get There?

Situated in the Eastern Gardens by the Geelong Bay, the Botanic gardens can be easily reached by car, foot and a free bus service during the summer months. There is car parking either side of the 20th Century garden by the front with space for visiting buses. Visitors to Geelong can walk the beautiful bayside promenade from the city up to the Eastern Park. Naturally the garden has been mapped by Google Maps, which you can access when you click this link.
