Postcards from the Gardens: Moments in Time

Botanical Gardens

Delve into the historic postcard collection of the Williamstown Botanic Gardens archive and explore the early 1900’s craze for postcard sending and collecting.   

During a tour of the 162-year-old Gardens, visit sites and views featured in vintage postcards and discover what these images and intriguing handwritten messages can tell us about the past.  

The talk and tour will be followed by a morning tea and a chance to write your own postcard from the gardens.
