Eden Project is a favourite of mine and they do lots of things really well - including strong messaging about why they are there (to connect people with plants).

But it would take a lot of space to do this successfully, especially catering for the large number of visitors this would potentially attract. Perhaps it’s time to consider long-term planning for a third campus of the RBG ...Stuart Williamsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1523231273885627613.post-53175917554768296252014-08-19T10:39:49.991+10:002014-08-19T10:39:49.991+10:00Your plans for RBG Melbourne sound exciting,Tim. ...Your plans for RBG Melbourne sound exciting,Tim.
