Last month it was my absolute pleasure to work with the brilliant staff at Auckland Botanic Gardens to host the second NZ Epiphyte Workshop. Our theme of "working with canopy plants" brought together landscapers, researchers, council staff, educators and garden managers from all over New Zealand (as well as one delegate from Sri Lanka!).
Please visit the 2016 Epiphyte Workshop page to read about the event, view the presentations and see the summary of group discussions.
Thanks to the enthusiastic participants who shared their ideas and jumped on board with many ideas for collaboration. Thanks also to our two fabulous sponsors: Auckland Botanic Gardens & the Environmental Research Institute, University of Waikato.
And in other news, I know many of you supported the NZ Tree Project (many thanks!). You can now see the final rimu portrait and documentary (including some sweet canopy footage) on the NZ Tree Project website.
To close, here are a few photos from the workshop, more can be found on the workshop page:
