“It’s time to celebrate the amazing variety of trees we’re so lucky to have in our beautiful City.”
Trees shine in Jungle Jam
A FREE fun festival that promises to reignite your passion for trees – and possibly change your perception of them and their significance in Western Sydney – will feature a forum with garden guru Costa Georgiadis, one of Australia’s most famous landscape architects and TV presenters.
