About

Small charity, established 2002. Purposes: education, culture, environment. Operates in: SA.

Giving Philosophy

The Trust's approach is to directly operate and develop the Australian Arid Lands Botanic Garden as a facility for conservation, education, and research, rather than providing grants to external entities. They aim to increase popular and scientific understanding of the arid zone environment, promote environmental sustainability, and conserve threatened plant species and communities.

Wealth Source:The foundation's funding sources include donations and bequests, as well as financial assistance from Federal and State Governments, and the South Australian mining sector. Additional revenue is generated through operations such as the garden's cafe, gift shop, and plant sales. The Port Augusta City Council provides annual funding and owns/operates the garden.
