“We are delighted to bring this exhibition to life in the beautiful surrounds of our City Botanic Gardens, offering a multi-sensory experience suitable for the whole family.
“The event is free to the public and includes guided twilight walks, the popular children’s discovery trail, live artwork creation where you can contribute to an exhibit, interactive workshops and talks. As well as food trucks and an outdoor bar on Friday to Sunday evenings,” Cr Schrinner said.
Botanica executive producer Bella Ford said the exhibition was a wonderful fusion of contemporary art and nature thanks to its unique setting.
“Botanica initiates a sense of discovery and wonder, and invites the community to be part of a conversation about our evolving city,” Ms Ford said.
