BGANZ Partnerships

Seasol International and Australian National Botanic Gardens continue to partner with BGANZ Ltd as BGANZ enters the next stage of its evolution.

Seasol International have partnered with BGANZ for a fourth year. The support of Alick Osbourne and the Seasol International team has been outstanding, and we’ve seen the partnership extend in different ways in the last year or so. Seasol International have naming rights to the Botanic Gardens Seasol Plant Challenge Video series, which will be a highlight throughout May 2023 as we lead into Sunday 28 May (last Sunday in May) Botanic Gardens Day 2023. The Seasol Plant Challenge remains a highlight of the BGANZ year. The sharing of knowledge and expertise from our members and member gardens has been a great source of education and entertainment. It’s amazing the knowledge stored in our gardens; in our members. We value the long-term support of Seasol International – enabling in part the resources to ensure the long term viability of BGANZ.

Seasol International has tremendous brand recognition among botanic gardens employees and is used by many gardens. Once again Seasol International will have several prizes on offer to members, garden groups and the general public. Be sure to take part in the Botanic Gardens Seasol Plant Challenge Video or watch any of the Botanic Gardens Day Ambassador Costa Geordiadishosted BGANZ webinars throughout May and you could be in with a chance to win some Seasol products for your botanic garden or your home garden.

Remember most of the Botanic Gardens Seasol Plant Challenge videos and all the Botanic Gardens Day 2022 Webinar Series are available to watch on the BGANZ YouTube channel.

And with spring in the garden – now is a great time to get your Seasol Plant challenge Video recorded for use in May.

Augusta Golf Carts have been a long-term partner of BGANZ and we thank Raymond Georgiou, Graham Janssen and the team at Augusta. Through the COVID-19 period when Augusta had significant challenges with production items in ports overseas, Augusta continued to find a way to support BGANZ. If you are thinking of buying a people mover, maintenance vehicle or other transportation vehicle, be sure to give Augusta an opportunity to quote. Gold Coast Regional Botanic Gardens are the latest garden to take ownership of an Augusta people mover.

Australian National Botanic Gardens remain a key partner providing ongoing office space and office support for BGANZ. The support of the staff at ANBG has been constant and it remains a great place to work and talk all things botanic gardens. There can’t be many better offices in the world than those at a botanic garden.
