The First-Year Fellows have been having amazing experiences in Australia. At each organization we visit, we learn more strategies for community engagement and for program evaluation. We are excited about the relationships we are developing with Australian organizations.
The Fellows and Dr. Brian Trader pose for a picture at The Blue Mountain Botanic Gardens, Mount Tomah.
In addition to our meetings, the Fellows have been fortunate to tour each of the gardens and have been blown away by our visits. We have seen gorgeous views, creative garden designs, and fascinating biodiversity.
Australian gardens certainly have some different pest management issues.
We have been impressed by the openness and generosity of all the host organizations! We are grateful for all the time and insights we have gotten so far and look forward to learning more.
