Anna Beesley is a PhD researcher at the University of Melbourne undertaking a study exploring how climate change is impacting public historic gardens in Australia. Anna is also a horticulturalist, former lawyer and former custodian of an Edna Walling garden at Bickleigh Vale in Mooroolbark and it is this that has spurred her interest and been the impetus for her PhD research.
She is seeking respondents to a survey about the management/conservation of public historic gardens, including on ground operational activities. The survey has 27 questions and should take about 20 minutes to complete. Please share this call for participants with people in your network.

The survey closes on 30 November 2025.
