Introduction to the Australian National Botanic Gardens

Functions of the ANBG
With a major development phase in the 1960s and its official opening in 1970, the Australian National Botanic Gardens (ANBG) became Australia's first botanic garden and research institution to specialise in native flora. With over 50 years experience in growing Australian plants, the ANBG has made important contributions to increasing knowledge, appreciation and enjoyment of Australia's unique plant heritage and landscapes. Its scientifically based collections of living, seed and herbarium specimens of Australian and related plants support a diversity of scientific and horticultural research.
The ANBG was declared as a reserve under the National Parks and Wildlife Conservation Act 1975 on 17 September 1991, for the purpose of increasing knowledge, appreciation and enjoyment of Australia's plant heritage by establishing, as an integrated resource, a collection of living and herbarium specimens of Australian and related plants for study, interpretation, conservation and display. The proclamation continued under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cth) (EPBC Act), which replaced the former Act on 16 July 2000.
Most of the scientific research at the ANBG is undertaken in partnership with other organisations. The Centre for Australian National Biodiversity Research (CANBR), formerly known as the Centre for Plant Biodiversity Research, is jointly managed by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) and the Director of National Parks through the ANBG. CANBR houses Australia's National Herbarium and aims to expand
