Rare Corpse Flower's bloom brings thousands to Adelaide Botanic Garden
13 January 2023
The eyes of the world were on the Adelaide Botanic Garden after a rare and endangered Corpse Flower, aka Titan Arum, flowered for the first time in a decade.
Exciting new changes are taking place at Wittunga Botanic Garden in South Australia's Mitcham Hills.
Wittunga Botanic Garden reviewed its Masterplan in April 2019, with the public invited to make comments and suggestions on the recommendations.
You can view the updated Wittunga Botanic Garden Masterplan here.
The plans are designed to enhance the Garden experience for visitors, as well as boost biodiversity conservation and science opportunities, and encourage a nature immersion experience for families.
The opportunities include:
A donation of $43,000 from the Copland Foundation and $10,000 from the Friends of Adelaide Botanic Garden will also result in enhancements over the next two years.
The opportunity to offer feedback closed on 15 November 2019 and the updates to the Masterplan were finalised in June 2020.
