Australia boasts some truly magnificent Botanic Gardens, and it was in fact the Sydney Botanic Garden that inspired and nurtured my love of horticulture. As a very young child we occasionally picnicked by the famous palm grove and I still have vivid memories of playing hide and seek in the grove, with the fronds casting green light everywhere and the sense of wonder of looking up into that canopy.
