Horticulture on the Grey Garden Escarpment at Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne
Weeding on the side of a cliff and conserving threatened species is just another day at Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne for horticulturist Amy Downie.
Join Amy as she abseils down the Grey Garden escarpment at Melbourne Gardens with Team Leader Tim Uebergang and arborist Peter Berbee. Due to the unique landscape of the escarpment, our horticulture team have had the opportunity to undertake vital conservation work for cliff-dwelling species that isn’t possible in other parts of the Gardens.
The next time you’re walking around the Tan track or taking in the view from the Temple of the Winds, spend a minute appreciating the incredible conservation work of happening right in the heart of Melbourne.
